Supported Independent Living (SIL) Services
What is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?
Supported Independent Living (SIL) provides people with disabilities the opportunity to live as independently as possible in their own home or shared accommodation. With SIL, you receive tailored support that helps you manage daily tasks, develop life skills, and participate fully in your community — all while maintaining control over your lifestyle.
