About These Services
Individuals with an intellectual/developmental disability may qualify for Supported Independence Program (SIP) Services to promote independent living with the authorization of community living supports (CLS) and/or personalized emergency response system (PERS).
SIP provides assistance with finding safe, affordable housing, assistance in finding potential roommates, assistance in learning skills to maintain independence, and provides staffing based on individual needs.
SIP Monitoring provides agency staff to respond to an individual’s needs 24-hours a day, including weekends and holidays. This system also provides additional security and supports through PERS, which is an open line monitoring system, and/or an emergency pendant based on individual needs.
