Non profit supportive housing

Non profit supportive housing

A community living option for adults with a developmental disability who choose to live with families and/or people within our community who are willing to share their lives with them and support them to live their best life.

Children and adults with a developmental disability are supported in caring environments promoting well-being of mind, body and spirit; people have the opportunity to develop individual interests and skills and participate as an active member of a household. Individualized support focuses on self-determination, personal choice, responsibility, contentment, inclusion and community participation.

The Supported Independent Living Program is an option where people live independently either on their own or in shared accommodations. Assistance is offered to enhance the independent living abilities of the people receiving support. Help is typically requested in the areas of banking, budgeting, grocery shopping and cooking however; support varies and is provided in any aspect of daily living.

Provides support to housing for persons with problematic substance use who are involved in or have completed an addiction treatment program, and who are also homeless, at risk of becoming homeless, or who are considered inadequately housed.
