The Department of Family, Youth, and Social Policy of the Community of Madrid offers the Independent Living Transition Service (STVI), carried out in Madrid, in two accessible housing units, with a capacity for 6 people, managed by FAMMA and COCEMFE.
The purpose of this service is to support and accompany persons with physical and/or organic disabilities in their transition to independent living. It is founded on the active participation of each individual who, supported by a team of professionals working daily in accordance with an Individualised Care Plan, develops the personal and social competencies necessary to advance progressively in a process aimed at achieving a level of autonomy that enables living according to one's own preferences and wishes.
This project consists of providing a range of supports for persons with physical and/or organic disabilities for the acquisition and enhancement of skills for independent living. These supports include housing, guidance, job search and retention, cultivating attitudes for independent living, and developing skills to function independently. Meeting certain personal and socioeconomic prerequisites, individuals may benefit from these supports over a specified period to achieve independent living.
