Supervised
Independent Living
Supervised Independent Living (SIL) is designed for dependent adolescents in Philadelphia
between 16 and 20 years of age. The clients reside in the communities of their
choice and live on their own with agency supports while preparing for
emancipation from the child welfare system. This program teaches life skills and
prepares the clients to live independent of the adult welfare system. Through
group activities and monthly meetings the youth address many of the issues they
face while living on their own, such as landlord negotiations, heating
assistance and budgeting.
