Over the last 40 years, Pioneer Community Living Association has grown to offer seven distinct residential programs. We house and serve ninety individuals across our facilities, providing a range of individual care, group support, and learning opportunities.
We work at both the client and system levels to ensure trauma-informed awareness. Our mission is to help those under our care build strengths and develop key skills for healthy living, at various levels of independence.

Lina’s Place is a 12-bed Mental Health, Assisted Living program. It provides a stable, supportive environment for persons with a mental illness who require support in developing the skills and resources necessary to increase personal competencies and quality of life.
When I think back to my stay at Lina’s, I think of how much I appreciated living there. The staff were very encouraging to me and helped me build my confidence up. I was concerned about living on my own again but, thankfully I lived at Lina’s Place for a year before I went back home. I don’t think I would have done as well had I not gone to Lina’s Place first.

Thank you for all you continue to do for my Mom. Without the help of Adrian House, she would not be the person she is today. You have helped my mom find her way back, and we will always be grateful for all the wonderful staff.

Elizabeth Barnett Terrace is a 23-unit, supported independent living apartment building. The goals of this program are to provide safe and affordable housing that fosters independent living, while providing the least restrictive environment possible.
Living at EBT gives me a chance to be independent without losing the supports I need. I work and I volunteer, and then come home to a place where there is always someone to talk to. Facilities like this are very important. It is my stepping stone to living on my own.
~ Mary*, resident at Elizabeth Barnett Terrace
The Dominion House program is hosted in a 5-bed duplex. This program accommodates five Bridging Program residents who are ready to live more independently.
“Everyone wants to live a happy, safe, and empowered life. I'm proud our mission ensures those living with mental illness are afforded those same comforts.”
