SHARED LIVING/FAMILIES

Answers to common questions

We know you have questions. Here are answers to the most common ones families ask.

What is Independent Living?

Independent living is designed for adults who want a private or shared residence and a vibrant community lifestyle, while remaining self-sufficient. It's perfect for those who can manage daily activities on their own but want the convenience of maintenance-free living, and social opportunities.

What types of housing options do you offer?

We ofer:

  • Full-home rentals for families

  • Private rooms

Both options are designed to be stable, dignified, and supportive.

Is the home move-in ready?

Yes. The property is clean, safe, and fully prepared for immediate occupancy. We ensure all utilities, safety features, and required standards are in place before placement.

Do you accept HUD-VASH, SSVF, and other veteran housing programs?

Yes, IGDH proudly partners with HUD-VASH, SSVF providers, VA Homeless

Outreach, and local veteran organizations to support veteran families and individuals.

What’s included in the monthly cost?

Typically, monthly costs cover your residence, utilities, maintenance, access to laundry and kitchen, and select services.

What should I bring?

We provide a fully furnished, move-in ready home, so you only need to bring the essentials that make daily life comfortable for you such as clothing, your favorite food items, and any personal keepsakes that help your space feel like home.

Are pets allowed?

While we maintain a no-pets policy, we gladly accommodate service animals as defined by the ADA, and assistance animals in accordance with applicable laws.

How quickly can we tour? (Tours are reserved for agency personnel only)

Often within the same week! We offer flexible scheduling including evenings and weekends to accommodate your schedule. Simply request your preferred day and time, and we'll confirm quickly.

How are allergies accommodated?

While we maintain a no‑pet policy to help protect residents with allergies, our no‑pet policy helps ensure that residents with animal allergies can live comfortably and safely in all shared spaces. Service animals, as defined by the ADA, are always permitted, and we make reasonable accommodations while keeping shared spaces safe and comfortable for everyone.
