Community Living Windsor

An Absolute Discretionary Trust, also known as a "Henson Trust", is way to provide ongoing supplementary financial support from the family’s resources without jeopardizing the disabled individual’s right to receive ODSP income support.

In 2008, the Federal Government introduced a “Registered Disability Savings Plan” (RDSP). The purpose of this program is to enable families and individuals with disabilities to accumulate a financial nest-egg to relieve the person of the poverty that very often accompanies having a disability. The Federal Government will promote the use of RDSPs for long-term savings by making its own generous contributions that must be left within the Plan for at least ten years.
