RESIDENTIAL SERVICE FOR THE DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED HAS BEEN A DREAM OF THE PARENTS AND MEMBERS OF THE OKLAHOMA COUNTY COUNCIL FOR MENTALLY RETARDED CITIZENS (OCCMRC) FOR MANY YEARS. IN APRIL OF 1979, AID WAS FORMED BY OCCMRC AS A SEPARATE NON-PROFIT CORPORATION TO DEVELOP RESIDENTIAL SERVICES FOR THE DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED. MONEY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE TWO RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES WAS OBTAINED THROUGH HUD SECTION 202 FINANCING, WITH EACH RESIDENT'S RENT PAYMENT SUBSIDIZED WITH HUD SECTION 8 FUNDS. AID OPENED ITS TWO RESIDENTIAL HOMES ON OCTOBER 3, 1981. EACH HOMECONSISTS OF TWELVE SINGLE OCCUPANCY BEDROOMS, WITH ONE BATHROOM SHARED BY TWO OCCUPANTS. IN ADDITION, ALL FACILITIES ARE ACCESSIBLE TO AND USABLE BY THE PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED. EACH HOME INCLUDES A LIVING ROOM FOR RECEIVING GUESTS, A RECREATION ROOM FOR ACTIVE PURSUITS, A CONGREGATE KITCHEN AND DINING FACILITY, AND A SEMI-PRIVATE SITTING ROOOM. RESIDENTS ARE TAUGHT DAILY LIVING SKILLS BY THE HOUSE MANAGERS IN ORDER THAT THEY MAY LEAD MORE INDEPENDANT LIVES. THE RESIDENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS OR HER DAILY CHORES. LAUNDRY AND COOKING ARE DONE BY THE RESIDENTS WITH NECESSARY TRAINING FOR THE RESIDENTS TO OBTAIN THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THEIR OWN APARTMENTS. BOTH THE SERVICES (FUNDED BY THE OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES AND FOOD PAYMENTS FROM THE TENANTS) AND THE OPERATIONS OF THE HOMES THEMSELVES, (FUNDED BY TENANT RENTS AND SEC. 8 RENTAL SUBSIDIES) ARE COMBINED INTO ONE PROGRAM FOR THE 990.
