About Choice in Supports for Independent Living BC
The Choice in Supports for Independent Living (CSIL) program is a self-managed home support option offered by British Columbia’s health authorities. It empowers individuals with disabilities or chronic health conditions to take control of their own care by receiving funding directly, rather than relying on government-contracted agencies. Participants can hire and manage their own caregivers, giving them greater flexibility, independence, and the ability to tailor services to their unique needs. CSIL is designed to support those who want to live at home with dignity and autonomy while managing their own personal assistance.
What are the responsibilities of the Families
Families participating in the CSIL program take on the role of employers and are responsible for managing the care funding provided. A key part of this role involves accurate financial reporting. This includes tracking all expenditures, maintaining detailed payroll records, and submitting regular reports to their local health authority to show how funds are being used. Families must ensure that wages, deductions, and employer contributions are calculated and paid correctly, and that all required documentation is kept up to date. Proper bookkeeping and compliance with reporting timelines are essential to continue receiving CSIL funding.
