Life Hacks for Independent Living Workshop
Join our new tenants for the Life Hacks for Independent Living workshop. This publicly-offered workshop series is focused on working with individuals who have an interest in increasing their independence. The class offerings will be a wide variety of life skills, budgeting, safety, technology, social and other topics. Designed for all who may be looking to live independently today, someday in the future, or even to just improve their life skills while living in their family home. With a curriculum provided by professionals, community volunteers and other local learning partners, we anticipate our workshop participants will not only learn from the experts, but will enjoy the social aspect with their peers that is built into each session. We are always open to new speakers, topics and know that may topic ideas will come from participants as well. Check out our current flyer!
The workshop fee is $75/month and stay tuned for future times, dates and locations. For those in self-direction, reimbursement should be possible - check with your FI on making that happen. If you or a loved one are interested in attending this workshop, please contact us at info@homeofmyownofwny.org today!

What do potential residents say?
Jordan Ward
Being able to live on my own is what I really wanted to do. Having my own apartment, like my brother and sisters did is what I want for me.”
Cynthia Munoz
I work at my job three times a week but I want more to do when I’m not working. Hanging out with friends is my favorite thing to do.
Albert Edwards
Moving out alone can be kind of scary, but if I had a roommate or other people like me around I would feel so much better.
