Service housing is a good option when, despite receiving in-home services, you find it challenging to continue living in your own home while maintaining your well-being. Our primary goal is to ensure your safety and enable you to fully enjoy life through our service housing.

Service housing involves residing in a designated apartment within a service housing community, where you receive a range of services, including caregiving and meal assistance. We offer service housing in various settings, such as service housing groups, group homes, housing groups, and through purchased service units. Additionally, you have the option to apply for service housing using a service voucher.

In the context of service housing, you will be responsible for covering the rent, apartment maintenance fees, and other daily living expenses, including medications and other necessary medical care services. Importantly, the assistance and support essential for addressing your disabilities are provided to you free of charge.

For further details about service housing or to initiate the application process, please get in touch with Counselling for People with Disabilities or your designated worker. Applications for housing services are processed through the disability service application form, ensuring a streamlined process for your convenience.
