What is Supported Living at SAILS?
Supported Living Services is a contracted service of the Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA). Qualifying persons are 18 years of age and older, have a developmental disability, on or approved for the Home and Community Based Services Core waiver and determined by the DDA assessment to need this level of support in their person-centered service plan.
People who receive supported living pay their portion of rent, utilities, food, typical household furnishings and maintenance costs, some transportation costs (i.e. bus passes), and any other personal expenses. Sharing a home with one or more people helps make living expenses more affordable. SAILS Washington helps people to apply for all benefits for which they are eligible such as: social security, food assistance, Section 8 housing and utility discounts.
A supported person typically lives with two or three housemates, and staff provide teaching or support based on needs. Supports may vary from a few hours per month up to 24 hours/day. Supports are determined by a Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) assessment. Our staff will support you to exercise your independence and choice:
Community activities
Self-advocacy
Building relationships
Finances
Shopping
Menu planning and cooking
Medication management
Medical appointments
Personal hygiene
Daily living activities

Community protection
Community Protection Program, (CPP), is a voluntary program funded through the State of Washington for adults who have been diagnosed with an intellectual disability and have a history of displaying unsafe behavior. The CCP programs offer participants an opportunity to live in their community while receiving treatment in a structured and therapeutic environment with support and close supervision. Individuals enrolled in the CPP program are provided treatment by a Certified Sex Offender Treatment Provider with weekly therapy and Treatment Team meetings every 90 days.
““I have always deeply appreciated the care that my sister’s staff give her and the very clearly strong relationships they have worked to build with her. I have felt particularly grateful for them during this pandemic-knowing that my COVID high risk sister is in the care of people I trust to keep her safe has been immensely relieving.” ”
