01 / About

Who we are.

A nonprofit built on the belief that every person deserves a home, a job, and a community.

We believe in the dignity of every person, and in the freedom of all people to experience the highest degree of self-determination.

Community Options, Inc. is a nationally based nonprofit organization with a deep footprint in Somerset County, New Jersey. For more than three decades, we have provided housing and employment opportunities for people with disabilities — including those with the most significant support needs.

What began as a small residential initiative has grown into a multi-state network of homes, supported employment programs, and community-based day services. In Hillsborough Township and the surrounding communities, we operate residences where individuals live with dignity, work with purpose, and belong to their neighborhoods.

Housing is a fundamental and critical right. Community Options ensures that people with even the most significant disabilities have a comfortable, supportive, and affordable place to live — and the relationships, work, and routines that make a house a home.

Success Story

Putting valuable experience to good use.

After completing the Walgreen's Retail Training Program and learning the skills needed to succeed in the workplace, Kayla was ready to find the job of her dreams.

Kayla quickly found employment at a senior living community, where she works as a server. She loves her job and is really excelling — a testament to what becomes possible when training, coaching, and community align.

Stories like Kayla's are the everyday reality at Community Options. From supported employment at Vaseful Flowers to long-tenured roles at employers like Safeway, individuals with disabilities are building careers, incomes, and identities of their own.
