Independent Living
Our Independent Living program provides the support and services that an individual needs to live on his or her own in an apartment or home. The program goal is to foster self-sufficiency by providing the training needed to enhance their success in the community.
Independent Living Advisors work together with program participants to support their goals and desires. Each Advisor works with 5 -7 clients on activities that include:
Daily living skills such as home maintenance, meal planning, and shopping
Budgeting, banking, and planning
Accessing community services
Participating in community activities
Scheduling and attending medical appointments
Advocating for personal needs
Utilizing public transportation
Finding and/or maintaining employment
In addition to one-on-one work, Advisors plan at least two activities each month to encourage social interaction among those in the Independent Living Program.
