Our Programs

A focus on life skills

 

Amos House is a transitional living facility serving the greater Danbury area, dedicated to ensuring that individuals and families have the opportunity to achieve the competency and productivity required for permanent, self-sufficient, independent living.

Families may remain in the program for up to two years.  Components of an individualized program may include:
