Q: What kind of supports are available for residents?

Main Street has a unique approach to inclusion that we call “Bring Your Own Independence” or BYOI. Main Street is not a service provider and does not provide care giving or support staff to meet individualized, customized, one-on-one needs. Main Street residents and members are encouraged to bring with them whatever and whomever they need to help them fully access and enjoy the benefits of living at Main Street and/or being a member of the community center. This may mean bringing a family member, direct support professional, communication device, mobility aid, etc. Residents and members in need of extra support may register for Main Street's essential life skills classes, which are offered regularly. Past topics have included Get Social, Exploring Sex & Relationships, Positive Thinking and Balanced Minds. In addition, Main Street offers regular safety programs for residents. Topics have included personal safety, fire safety, safety on public transportation and weather-related safety.
