Residential Living opened it's doors to eight women living in one home, to
providing to over 30 individuals in Erie County. Although Erie Residential

of the individuals served by Erie Residential Living, Inc. live in their own
home or apartment. We are all one big family
and treat each other with the utmost respect. We strive every day to enrich the
lives of the individuals we are fortunate enough to serve.
Our mission is to give each individual an opportunity and
environment to achieve their highest potential. We offer help to people by developing skills to enrich their personal
relationships, lifestyles, and community involvement. The pursuit of personal
interest in educational, vocational, leisure and recreational areas is also
encouraged. These opportunities are supported by finding a residential setting
where each person can succeed in our community. This can be an apartment, a
shared living home with supervision, or a home of their own choice.
