WHAT IS SELF-SUFFICIENCY? Self-Sufficiency is defined as a household's ability to maintain financial, housing, and personal/family stability. It is also defined as a resident's ability to progress along the self-sufficiency continuum through training and the utilization of supportive services. In the case of elderly residents and residents with disabilities, self-sufficiency is further defined as the utilization of supportive services which enable them to age in place or remain living independently for as long as possible.
