People requiring less than 24-hour support and can afford to live on their own often do not share their home with others.

Supported Living is a service that supports clients to live in their home in the community with support from a contracted agency. Individuals typically live with two or three housemates, and staff provide teaching or support based on needs. Supports may vary from a few hours per month up to 24 hours/day.

Individuals who receive supported living pay their portion of rent, utilities, food, typical household furnishings and maintenance costs, some transportation costs (i.e. bus passes), and any other personal expenses. Sharing a home with one or more people helps make living expenses more affordable.
