Supports for Daily Living
For individuals living with family or independently
Live life on your own terms
Our supported independent living program offers a range of services to help individuals navigate the complexities of daily life – like managing time, handling finances, or maintaining routines.
Our approach focuses on working with you instead of doing things for you, so you can acquire skills and gain confidence in the process.

FAQs
How is this program different from traditional group homes?
Our approach is different: instead of taking over, we help you do these daily tasks yourself – so you can become more independent each day. Our “do with” versus “do for” approach ensures that you are involved every step of the way. It is your life, you choose how you want to live it, and our well-trained SIL staff are there to nudge you and guide you along.
Can I receive SIL services in my family home?
How many hours per day will I have a staff working in my home?
Does the supported living program pay for my rent, utilities, and food?
No. Individuals enrolled in the program are responsible for their personal bills. Our staff can support you with budgeting and money management so you don’t fall behind on your rent, utilities and other bills.
If you are looking to rent an apartment or apply for rent vouchers, we recommend you consider our Housing Supports Services.
I live in a group home now, and want to move out on my own. Is this program right for me?
Certainly! The supported living program can provide similar supports you receive in the group home, but in a less restrictive manner where you get to make your own choices.
If you want to move out of the group home, your first step is to find housing. We can also help you find work and create a budget so you can pay for your daily expenses.
The supported living program kicks in as soon as you move into your home.
