THIS PROGRAM IS NOT TIME-LIMITED. TWO LARS CASE MANAGERS CONDUCT WEEKLY HOME VISITS WITH ALL PARTICIPANTS, WHO RESIDE IN APARTMENTS LEASED BY LARS THROUGHOUT THE LAUREL COMMUNITY. PARTICIPANTS LIVE INDEPENDENTLY WITH SUPPORT AS NEEDED FROM LARS, INCLUDING LIFE SKILLS CLASSES, INDIVIDUAL SAVINGS ACCOUNTS, AND ASSISTANCE WITH OBTAINING TREATMENT FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE, HEALTH OR MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS.

THE EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAM USES A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL "MOBILITY MENTORING" FRAMEWORK DESIGNED BY EMPATH OF BOSTON, MA. MOBILITY MENTORING-INSPIRED PROGRAMS ARE DESCRIBED BY EMPATH AS "METRIC-BASED, MENTOR-LED, INCENTIVIZED PROGRAMS THAT LEAD FAMILIES ACROSS THE ECONOMIC DIVIDE."
