Housing With Supports
Housing with Supports provides a living environment designed for individuals who require assistance with daily living activities. These residences, formerly known as domiciliary hostels, offer not only board and lodging but also daily meals and necessary medication supervision, ensuring that residents have the care and support they need. For many, these options represent a permanent solution where they can feel secure and supported.
There are various housing with supports models available across regions, each tailored to meet the specific needs of residents.
Financial Assistance:
In these regions, financial support may be available to assist individuals in affording their housing needs. This financial aid is designed for those who cannot bear the full cost of their accommodations and covers:
- Board and Lodge per diem: The monthly expenses associated with residing at the supported home.
- Personal Needs Allowance: A monthly stipend intended for personal needs and expenditures.
- Top Up Allowance: Any additional supportive services provided at the home that may be necessary for a resident’s well-being.
Eligibility Criteria:
To be considered for financial help under these programs, individuals typically must meet the following criteria:
- Be at least 18 years of age.
- Require supervision in daily living activities.
- Not qualify for long-term care services.
- Demonstrate financial need.
By providing a structured living environment with the necessary supports, housing with supports aims to enhance quality of life for individuals who require assistance, fostering independence and community integration.
