Passport Services

Passport is a program that helps adults with a developmental disability be involved in their communities and live as independently as possible by providing funding for community participation services and supports, activities of daily living and person-directed planning. The program also provides funding for caregivers of an adult with an intellectual disability.

The key goals of the Passport program are to:

Foster independence by building on individuals’ abilities and developing community participation, social and daily living skills.

Increase opportunities for participation in the community with supports that respect personal choices and decision-making, and help people achieve their goals.

Promote social inclusion and broaden social relationships through the use of community resources and services available to everyone in the community.

Help young people make the transition from school to life as an adult in the community.

Support families and caregivers of an adult with an intellectual disability so they can continue in their supportive role.

The Passport program is designed to complement and work together with other government programs, resources and sources of funding to provide a wide range of supports.

Passport funding can be used for the following services and supports:

Community participation

Activities of daily living

Caregiver respite

Person-directed planning (up to $2,500)

Administration of Passport funding (up to 10% of Passport allocation)
