What is SIL (Supported Independent Living)?

In plain English

Funding for help with daily tasks for people who live in shared or supported accommodation. Covers things like personal care, meals and household tasks.

Supported Independent Living, or SIL, funds the help with daily tasks for people who live in shared or supported accommodation. It covers things like personal care, preparing meals, household tasks and building daily living skills. SIL pays for the support inside the home, not the home itself, which is a separate matter. It usually suits people who need a lot of support, and the funding is worked out individually.
