Virtual DF Info Session

Join us for a FREE online session to discover how Direct Funding helps people with disabilities live more independently.

Direct Funding is an innovative program that allows adults with physical disabilities to become Self-Managers; managing their attendants, including recruitment, hiring/firing, and scheduling to meet their own specific daily needs.  As a Self-Manager in the Direct Funding Program, you receive the funds necessary to pay your own attendants and cover all employer-related costs. Attendants are not employees of an agency or organization. 

The Direct Funding Team from Independent Living Waterloo Region will go through the details, application and what is available through this unique opportunity. Our Guest Speaker Twila will speak about her lived experience being on the Direct Funding program and can answer any questions that you might have!

Guest Speaker – Meet Twila:

Twila has been part of the Direct Funding Program since 2018, and she says she couldn’t imagine life without it. Managing her own team of attendants means she doesn’t have to rely on her husband or family for her care — and she loves the freedom and support this gives her. Through Direct Funding, Twila has the choice, control, and flexibility to live life the way she wants, surrounded by her loved ones and her wonderful team of attendants.

There will be one lucky winner of a $100 gift card for Vincenzo’s for those that register and attend!
