Independent Living Program

Through the Independent Living Program, Laing House supports members to develop skills to live independently and to find and maintain affordable and safe housing. Through Lunch@Laing and Community Kitchens, members plan menus, shop for food, prepare a meal, and eat together. This provides opportunities to learn about budgeting, to develop cooking skills, build nutritional awareness, and create meals they can take home.

The Independent Living Program also addresses the requirements necessary to find and maintain suitable housing. Workshops on topics such as apartment hunting, understanding tenant rights and obligations, and accessing income assistance help to build the skills needed to achieve these goals.
