    Individuals reside in their own home or their family home, receiving varying levels of support based on individual needs. 

    SIL: Supported Independent Living
     
    The Supported Independent Living program at Ability Beyond Disability meets the specialized needs of individuals who want to live in a community setting and maintain the maximum level of independence. Supported Independent Living services help individuals exercise meaningful choice and control in their daily lives, including where and with whom to live.  
     
    • Individuals reside in their own rented/leased apartments, condos, and homes and receive varying levels of support from several hours a month or 24 hours a day
    • Individuals are supported to foster nurturing relationships, full membership in the community, and work toward their long-range personal goals.
