Two acronyms cause more confusion than any others in disability housing: SDA and SIL. They sound similar, they often happen in the same house, but they are different things \u2014 and the difference matters for your independence.<\/p>\n
Specialist Disability Accommodation funding pays for the physical dwelling \u2014 the specialist design and the bricks and mortar. It goes to a housing provider, like us.<\/p>\n
Supported Independent Living funding pays for the people who support you day to day in your home \u2014 help with personal care, cooking, medications and daily living. It goes to a support provider you choose.<\/p>\n
We are deliberately a housing-only provider. Because we do not deliver your supports, you are free to choose \u2014 and change \u2014 your SIL provider without putting your home at risk. In shared homes the household uses one provider, and a simple household vote allows for change.<\/p>\n
That separation is not a technicality; it is a safeguard. Your home should never be leverage in a disagreement with a support provider.
