Supported Living is a residential option for those individuals seeking independent living with supports specific to their wants, needs and wishes. The supports are directed to the person served; it is not a residential program where a service is provided. In Supported Living there are no “house rules”, individual’s self direct their lives.
Each individual will view the apartment and choose whether or not it is a place they want to live. In Supported Living, each individual is a rental tenant of their own unit. We will ensure it is a healthy and safe environment at all times.
Our Supported Living programs will either have an onsite or offsite coordinator. The onsite coordinator lives within the program and is immediately available in person. The offsite coordinator performs daily support and check-ins and is available by phone whenever needed.
We also provide Outreach Support Workers who work one on one with the individual seeking supports to develop expectations and service goals. These expectations and goals will then help to identify the number of hours and types of supports that will be made available.
We are happy to provide any supports requested, some of the more common areas of supports include:
The process of finding a Supportive Living arrangement begins with a referral from Community Living British Columbia (CLBC). CLBC is the organization who provides the funding and initiates the planning. If individuals are connected with CLBC, we welcome a self referral and will contact CLBC on your behalf.
