Objectives • To provide individuals with fully assisted and semi independent housing in the Powell River community • Provide one on one support services to individuals with physical and mental disabilities in the Powell River community • To create a long term, multi faceted centre in Powell River offering assistance both to individuals and families with disabilities.
SCOPE STATEMENT • To develop and open a new combined Assisted Independent Living Program (AIL) and Supported Independent Living (SIL) facility in Powell River for Howe Sound Rehabilitation Services Society (HSRSS) by September 2011.

Constraints • Regulatory bodies and legal proceedings that stall or slow the project process. • Training and development of staff • Procurement of funding • The distance of the site • Finding qualified staff and knowledgeable contractors in a more rural setting
Risk Assessment • Facility not built in time • Lack of funding to complete the project • Lack of qualified employees in Powell River • The possibility of not collecting contracts for clients in time (Listed from most risk to least risk)
Contingency Plan • If funding cannot be procured in full from government sources ensure loans in place prior to project launch. • Secondary temporary location developed in the event that we are more than 1 month behind schedule at the end of July 2011. • Plan for increased awareness about job opportunities through various websites as well as temporary placement options for current HSRSS employees (transfers).
