Community & Day Supports

Adults are supported to achieve personal goals related to activities of daily living and community participation. These supports provide a variety of options whereby adults can participate in planned activities that focus on community participation, life skills, volunteer and cooperative work, socialization and/or leisure.

Passport

Passport is a program that helps adults with a developmental disability be involved in their communities and live as independently as possible by providing funding for community participation services and supports, activities of daily living and person-directed planning. The program also provides funding for caregiver respite services and supports for primary caregivers of an adult with a developmental disability.

Through the Passport Program, individuals and families can choose to either receive funding directly so they can purchase their own services and supports, and/or receive the services and supports through community-based agencies, such as Community Living Owen Sound and District. For more information contact Family Support Services.

Association staff provide individuals with residential support up to 24 hours per day in a limited number of homes and locations. Typically, 3 to 4 individuals live at each home.
