About US

Southeastern Residential Alternatives, Inc. (S.R.A., Inc.) is a private, for-profit organization located in Southeastern Illinois surrounded by the beautiful Shawnee National Forest.

We provide residential support services to adults with developmental disabilities.

The agency began in 1995 based on the need for this level of care in Southeastern Illinois.  S.R.A.'s initial and continued success results from the hard work of dedicated, caring staff and a supportive Board of Directors.

Currently there are eleven homes in operation, which are located in Saline and White counties.

Care is provided to adults in a warm, homelike setting.

We are licensed and funded by the Illinois Department of Human Services - Office of Developmental Disabilities, as Community Integrated Living Arrangements (CILA's).

Services provided to the individuals are coordinated through a person-centered method of programming. Service providers, guardians, family members, and others involved in their lives have input in the planning and implementation of the care they receive.

Developmental training, vocational programs and supportive employment programs are available in all of the communities where our homes are located.  Each person's dreams and desires are looked at individually and their support services are fashioned accordingly.

​
