Supported living is:
• About having your own place to live, with the support you need.
• Being independent with your own front door key.
• Being able to live on your own or with friends
• Choosing to rent a home or own your own home
• Choosing where you live and who supports you

Supported living enables you to live an ordinary life and contribute to your community.
There are 2 parts to supported living:

1. Help to find the most suitable home, whether it’s on your own or you share with other people.
2. The support you need to do the things you want to do and to live independently.

The support you get builds on the things you can do and depends on what other support you have from your friends, family and the community.
