Alternative Family Living (AFL)
Alternative Family Living (AFL) settings provide an individual with intellectual and developmental disabilities with a unique opportunity to live within a family unit that has been specially licensed to open their home for the provision of specific services and support. This provides an increased sense of belonging and furthers independence as a person becomes part of a new family structure and explores school, work, day and community services, volunteer opportunities and other community and family-based activities.
Monarch currently provides AFL in Cabarrus, Forsyth, Gaston, Mecklenburg, Moore, Richmond and Stanly counties.
