CSA Member Organizations

Community Support Advocates (CSA) is a cooperative effort of Mainstream Living, Progress Industries, and The Homestead.

Our Purpose

CSA was formed to assist persons with mental illness, intellectual disabilities, or other developmental disabilities in gaining access to appropriate housing, needed medical services, and interrelated social, vocational, and educational services.

Consumer Choice

These services are driven by consumer choice, with a focus on individualized community services and supports, and maximum community integration.

Case Management services are available to adults who are Medicaid eligible and have Intellectual Disabilities (ID), other Developmental Disabilities (DD), Chronic Mental Illness (CMI) or are eligible for the Brain Injury (BI) Waiver program.
