What is Supported Independent Living?

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a program aimed to enable persons with disabilities to live more independently in their own homes or shared accommodation. SIL providers provide individualized care to meet individuals with different needs to enable them to live a satisfactory life with care and support. SIL is meant to enable individuals to have as much control as possible and have their health, safety, and well-being maintained.

SIL includes a range of services from assistance with daily activities and self-care to independent and social life skills. Services are tailored to meet each individual’s own individualized needs and goals. SIL engages a disabled person in assuming a leadership position in his or her own life, in developing confidence and autonomy, and being mainstreamed in society.

The key is to provide participants with a degree of autonomy consistent with their own decisions, yet with any required support to exist in a safe and comfortable manner. SIL can be delivered in any accommodation, ranging from a private dwelling to a shared dwelling with other participants, and can provide a flexible environment in which participants can flourish.
