I’m ready to explore SILC’s Coop Community

SILC’s community exists on two levels, at your home and at our Cooperative.

Home

There is a sense of home

for you and your house mates.

You are welcomed into your home and are valued members of the household.

You have choice and opportunities to participate in everyday activities

You are encouraged and supported to develop and maintain your own personal relationships

including those of your natural families and friends.

You have your own uniqueness, gifts and experiences

which you bring to your house hold community.

Cooperative

You are also connected to SILC’s Cooperative Community, which is a broader group of cooperatives who have established houses with SILC.

Through the SILC Cooperative Community, we empower people with disability and their families to establish their own family governed homes by:

Providing guidance

We provide our members with the personnel support, tools, resources and systems that they need, to help them to have agency to run their cooperative and their home.

Education Training and Information

We hold cooperative forums, and bring our members together to share learning and to help you to develop the skills needed to run your home.

Creating and Connecting a welcoming and intentional community

We create an intentional community with our cooperatives, to promote inclusion and employment opportunities for our residents, to create a natural safeguard for our residents and to foster ways where our cooperatives can support each other.
