About ISA Housing

ISA Housing was founded in April 2015 in response to a recognized need for safe and secure accommodations for individuals living with developmental disabilities.

At ISA Housing, we believe that every individual has the right to security of person and property. Moreover, it is incumbent upon society to ensure that our more vulnerable citizens are safe and secure while ensuring their dignity is preserved. ISA Housing  delivers a special needs housing alternative under our Vulnerable Sector-Safety Security and Maintenance (VS-SSAM) Protocol©.

At ISA Housing, we have the knowledge and the expertise to provide safe and secure special needs housing options for people living with developmental disabilities who desire to live independent lives with nearly visible (yet completely transparent) interdependent accommodation supports.
