ILA
PROGRAM
Participants in the Independent Living Account (ILA) program are shelter residents who receive support and incentives to save to rent their own place. They complete a money management course, receive assistance to open a bank account and are provided a matched incentive for each dollar they put aside. In 2008, the program received the Vital Ideas Award from the Toronto Community Foundation for its lasting impact on the community. The ILA has proven to be a cost-effective intervention for shelter residents and has a positive return on investment.
