Tucson Residence Foundation (TRF) was founded in 1971 by friends and relatives of individuals with developmental disabilities. The Foundation was the first of its kind to provide a community based residential alternative to institutionalization. The first group home in Southern Arizona, still operating today, was the result of the collective effort... s of family members, volunteers and community leaders. What began as a grassroots effort to provide a single alternative to large congregate care facilities now supports well over one hundred adults in a variety of housing options throughout the Tucson community. With over thirty locations, Tucson Residence Foundation can offer real choice about where and how each individual lives their life. Today, Tucson Residence Foundation is the largest provider of Individually Designed Living Arrangements (IDLA). In addition, the company's Supported Living Services (SLS) provides support tailored to the needs of individuals who rent or own their own home or apartment. Since its inception, Tucson Residence Foundation's mission has been driven by the principles of self-determination.
