Enabled Living Programme
Overview
The Enabled Living Programme (ELP) is a community living programme that empowers adults with disabilities with low to moderate support needs to live independently for as long as possible. Sited in public rental flats, ELP helps adults with disabilities age in place by providing an ecosystem of care and social support that includes on-site services – such as daily living and social skills coaching and community engagement. By fostering community integration, ELP supports adults with disabilities to build meaningful connections, enhancing their overall well-being, autonomy, and dignity.
