Housing

We offer people choices in a variety of affordable, accessible and inclusive living environments as well as support to people within their homes. Depending on individual needs and preferences, support ranges from a few hours a week to 24 hours a day.  It may include:

• Shared living: living in a home with a family or another person who shares their daily life and interests. This model encourages personal relationships, connection to the community, and well-being
• Semi-independent living: people living in their own home, as independently as possible, with varied levels and schedules of support
• Staffed homes: living in a home with one to three roommates, with ongoing support.

Shared Living

Kinsight fosters connections between Shared Living Providers and individuals with disabilities who are seeking shared living arrangements. We work to identify complementary interests and lifestyles that allow individuals to build positive relationships in their shared homes. Through shared living, individuals expand their network and make new connections in the community.

LIFE

LIFE (Learning, Inclusion, Friendship, Employment) supports for participants interested in employment and who want to connect to their community, pursue lifelong learning, and build meaningful relationships. LIFE is driven by strengths, rights and choices of participants, and it occurs where the goals and life aspirations of the participant are best met. It’s a flexible service that offers varying levels of support over time.

Individual and Family Support

We work together with adults with intellectual disabilities and their family members, on an individual or group basis, to seek information, answer their questions and identify their priorities. People often ask for assistance to explore options that are available to them, and seek guidance around times of change, or transition to a new way of living or stage of life.  We offer home visits, support for meetings, workshops, and referrals to community and professional services.
