Community Alternatives is a 501 (C)(3) private non-profit organization created specifically to support people with disabilities and their families in choosing and designing a life for themselves within their communities. They are committed to providing integrated community supports to anyone experiencing intellectual or developmental disabilities. They offer the following services in Northeastern Wisconsin: Supported Living Services • Community Interconnecting • Daily Living Skills / Life Skills Training • Money Management Skills

Community Alternatives first opened its doors in 2013 after Shawano County began to transition to Managed Care. Prior to this, Residential and Community Services were provided through Shawano County Department of Community Programs. Shawano County had set up Community Alternatives to purchase affordable housing for persons with disabilities as well as oversee the qualified staff that were employed through D.E.N. Services. We had a wonderful group of people help with all this and we slowly began the transition in to the Community Alternatives of today.

Community Alternatives is now the largest residential service provider in Shawano. Currently we have 85+ staff on our payroll and are supporting about 45+ people in the Shawano area and growing! We are proud of what we do and our staff are caring and committed. Our team of dedicated staff saw us thru Covid-19 and the extreme staffing shortages. There is such a need for these services in our community. We are working with the State of Wisconsin to improve the wages of these very deserving individuals.
