Supported Independent Living Program

Provides support to individuals with intellectual disabilities, to assist in living independently in the community without support most of the time.

Support is individualized to assist people to fill in the gaps they may have in their independent living skills, which may include:

• Budgeting
• Teaching daily living skills such as housework, transportation training, menu planning, cooking, interpersonal relations and/or personal care issues
• Assistance in dealing with community professionals (doctors, landlords, social workers, utility contact personnel, etc.)
• Assistance in finding housing (help with phone calls, viewing, landlords, hook-ups, and giving guidance and suggestions regarding choices and availability).
