SIL covers the help. It doesn't cover the bills.
Supported Independent Living (SIL) funding pays for support workers to help with everyday tasks at home, like:
β
Personal care
β
Cooking and meal prep
β
Cleaning and household tasks
β
Medication support
What SIL doesn't cover:
β Rent
β Groceries
β Bills and utilities
These are usually paid by the participant, often from their own income.
