Supported Independent Living (SIL) refers to a housing and support model designed to assist individuals with disabilities or special needs to live as independently as possible in their own homes or within a community setting.

In SIL, individuals receive varying levels of support depending on their specific needs, abilities, and goals. This support can include assistance with daily living tasks such as personal care, meal preparation, household chores, managing finances, accessing community resources, and social participation. The aim is to empower individuals to lead fulfilling lives and participate in their communities to the fullest extent possible while receiving the necessary support to do so.

SIL can be provided through various service providers, organizations, or agencies, often in collaboration with government-funded disability support programs or initiatives. The level and type of support offered in SIL arrangements can be tailored to meet the unique needs and preferences of each individual, promoting greater independence, choice, and quality of life.
