- This contribution goes directly to Enliven to help cover rent and maintenance. You’ll still be responsible for your day-to-day living expenses like groceries, utilities and personal supports.
- At Enliven, we can assist you through the funding requirements and guide you through your eligibility and application steps before you apply.
