Supported housing is an excellent choice when you possess a good degree of independence in your daily activities but still require support and guidance either in maintaining your independent living or during the transition toward complete independence.
The amount and nature of assistance depends on your individual needs. It can include visits by an instructor with the aim of making your everyday living and managing your affairs easier. Support can also be provided by telephone or video calls.
You can receive assistance when living in an apartment you own or rent or in a transitional apartment. If you live in a transitional apartment, you are responsible for paying the rent yourself.
Support visits provided by Supported Housing are free of charge to you.
For more information on supported housing and transitional apartments, please contact Counselling for People with Disabilities or your designated worker. Housing services are applied for using the disability service application form.
