Individualized Support Services (ISS)
ISS (Individualized Support Services) is a program designed to
help people live on their own rather than in an OPWDD-certified
program or with other family members. ISS provides funding,
which, in addition to an individual’s current income, helps to
pay necessary bills. It can include start-up funds to assist
with such things as security deposit, paying movers, and buying
furniture and household goods. It can also be an ongoing
contract to assist with monthly expenses.
For more information about ISS, please contact:
