Practice
Once a year during a house meeting, the provider invites a representative of the Advocacy Center to attend. During this meeting, the “house rules” are reviewed and developed with the individuals. The Advocacy Center ensures individuals’ rights are upheld.

Who Benefits?
How? Individuals have an outside entity ensuring their rights are not being violated and become aware of this community resource. The provider benefits by making the connection with and utilizing this community resource on behalf of the individuals served.
