Community Living Windsor

Many people who have a disability can work and want to work.  Employment Supports under the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) can be accessed by or on behalf of a person who meets the disability definition, even if the person is not entitled to receive income support because he or she does not meet the standard of financial need.

Employment Supports can help even if a person has never worked before, has been out of work, or is in school.   Everyone's path to employment is different.  ODSP Employment Supports will connect people with a community support provider, like Community Living Windsor, to help people get and keep a job.

To be eligible for ODSP Employment Supports, you must:

• be 16 years of age or older
• be a resident of Ontario
• be able to work in Canada
• have a disability that is expected to last one year or more, and
• have a disability that makes it hard for you to find or keep a job.
