Residential Programs ABEL ROCK GROUP HOMEThis home was built in 2003 for two people with autism and other complex needs. It is located on the outskirts of Belfast and currently provides a home for two people diagnosed with Mental Retardation/Autism so that they could move home to Belfast where they grew up and their family resides. This home has many unique safety features such as protective heating and recessed lighting, which provides a more comfortable living environment for people with autism.  HIGH STREET GROUP HOMES I & IIEach of the two residences offers six people a home located in downtown Belfast. The Maine Department of Health and Human Services and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development provide funding for these two homes. Some people living in these homes work on gaining skills to move into their own apartment and others intend to stay while working in the community. These homes are licensed by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services as Level III Assisted Living Facilities.
