Home and Living Exploration

Home and Living Exploration

My Abilities will support and guide you if you want a place to live now or later, we are experts at finding and designing your accommodation that fit what you need. We help young people and adults who are getting ready to leave their current homes, move to new ones, or transition from out of home care, by offering them support and guidance until they fully settles in their own accommodation.
The Exploration and Design stage is an important starting point for your ILO. Exploration and Design funding enables you to choose a support provider to work with you, your family and friends to help work out where you want to live and how you’d like to be supported. Some people choose not to use a service provider for this stage, which is fine too.
Wherever possible, decisions about your ILO should be made by you. You should be supported to be involved and make decisions as much as possible.
No two people will design their ILO the same way. Everyone has their own needs and ideas about what’s a safe and happy home.

The exploration and Design stage will help you:

  1. Decide where and how you want to live, and help others understand your preferences and how it will work for you.
  2. Recognize your strengths and abilities.
  3. Identify ways to enhance your skills with the support provided by your personalized living arrangement.
  4. Have the freedom to select who you live with and how they assist you.
  5. Make choices about your living situation and the type of support you receive.
  6. Understand how your friends, family, community support, and paid assistance can all contribute to your personalized living setup.
  7. Explore possibilities and evaluate and manage any potential risks in your desired living arrangement.
  8. Collaborate with your support network to plan and make decisions regarding your personalized living option.
  9. Develop and finalize a service proposal for your chosen living arrangement.
