STEL, Inc. provides 24-hour support to residents living in a community residence.  The homes are located in Dunkirk, Jamestown, Gowanda, Olean, and Wellsville.  The community residences are both rehabilitative and transitional in nature.  Our goal is to provide secure, safe, and healthy living environments for our residents and to facilitate their successful reintegration into the community at a pace commensurate with their levels of functioning.  Working with other services providers, we seek to develop life management skills that will insure stabilization and upward movement through progressive levels of independence.
