Supported Independent Living
Program Overview
Empowering individuals to thrive with support, structure, and independence.
Our Supported Independent Living (SIL) Program provides youth and adults aged 16+ with a safe, stable, and community-integrated living environment, tailored to support independence and personal growth. Located in a centrally situated, fully equipped apartment, our program offers person-centered support that promotes life skills development, emotional wellness, and meaningful community participation.
Whether transitioning out of care, navigating complex needs, or building the confidence to live independently, individuals receive individualized support from experienced, trauma-informed staff who understand the unique challenges and strengths of each person we serve.

Shared furnished living space
24/7 on-call support with flexible in-unit staffing
Life skills coaching (cooking, cleaning, budgeting, etc.)
Goal setting and person-directed planning
Connection to education, employment, and community resources
Support with mental health, addictions, and developmental needs
