FAQS

What is the difference between SIL and STA?
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a permanent living arrangement where individuals receive ongoing support while living independently in their own home or shared accommodation. SIL is designed for those who require regular assistance with daily tasks but are capable of living independently in many aspects. Short Term Accommodation (STA), on the other hand, is a temporary arrangement that offers short-term respite or transitional housing. STA is ideal for individuals who need temporary support or are in between more permanent accommodations.
Who is eligible for Medium Term Accommodation (MTA)?
Medium Term Accommodation (MTA) is available to individuals who are waiting for long-term housing solutions, such as Supported Independent Living (SIL). It provides an interim option for those who have applied for permanent accommodation but need a place to stay while arrangements are being finalized. MTA is designed to ensure that individuals receive the care and support they need during this transitional period.
What types of support are available in SIL?
Supported Independent Living (SIL) offers a wide range of support services, including assistance with personal care, meal preparation, household jobs and social participation. The level of support is tailored to each individual’s specific needs, ensuring they have the help required to manage daily activities while still promoting independence. Additionally, 24/7 support is available to ensure safety and well-being at all times.
