Supervised Independent Living Program (SILP)

The SILP program provides a resource for young adults who have developed self-sufficiency skills and are ready to transition to a less restrictive environment. The program provides adult supervision, feedback, and guidance as the youth transition to an agency-operated apartment in the community. This enables young adults to continue their education, acquire employment or attend job skills training in a supportive and therapeutic setting.

  • Case management and frequent contact with support workers
  • Meeting all basic needs (food, clothing, shelter) through provision of stipends
  • Intensive support with independent living skills training to meet the youth’s individual needs
  • Parenting support & education to meet the individualized needs of parenting youth
  • Educational assistance
  • Assistance and support for medical care
  • Advocacy in all areas
  • Linkage to appropriate communication resources
  • Mentoring
  • Childcare services
  • Comprehensive psychiatric recommendation and assessment services
