Direct Funding

This is an innovative program that enables adults with physical disabilities to become employers of their own attendants. Attendants assist with routine activities of living, such as dressing, grooming and bathing. As an employer, you would be fully responsible for managing your own employees within a budget that is developed on an individual basis. The program is funded by the Ministry of Health and administered by the Centre for Independent Living in Toronto (CILT).

Advantages of the Direct Funding Program:

Be in charge of your own staff
Schedule your attendants to meet your daily needs
Receive monthly funds to manage expenses
Hire people you select based on your individual requirements
Live where you like (the program is available throughout Ontario)
