Capacity Building 

Capacity Building Supports are designed to help build your skills and independence in your daily life.  The funds are used to support goals that specifically build on your long-term independence. For example, Capacity building supports will provide you with the knowledge, skills and education to prepare healthy meals yourself rather than having meals delivered on a weekly basis, which is covered under Core Supports.   

There are a number of Capacity Building areas that City to Country Care would be happy to support you with. 

• Support Coordination is a fixed amount of funding that can be used to engage a Support Coordinator who can help you connect with and implement your plan.
• Improved Living Arrangements help you find and maintain appropriate accommodation for your needs.
• Increased Social and Community Participation helps you with the development and training of life skills to encourage your participation in your community and in social and recreational activities.
