Supported Independent Living

Our Supported Independent Living program supports adults with developmental disabilities to live in their own home. The program is flexible, and supports are based on a person's wishes and needs. People who receive these supports are responsible for their household maintenance costs, including rent, utilities, food, and furnishings.

Supports may include assistance and skills-building in the following areas:

  • Activities of daily living
  • Household management and maintenance
  • Menu planning, grocery shopping, and meal preparation
  • Monitoring of medications and health-care support
  • Support and advocacy with medical, dental, and specialist appointments
  • Budgeting, ODSP assistance, paying bills, and filing tax returns
  • Accessing community resources and services
  • Community connection, networking, and natural relationships

Our goal is to increase both personal independence and interdependence between people and their community.
