L’Arche Toronto’s Trying It on For Size (TIFS) program is accepting applications for new participants to join TIFS starting this Summer/Fall!
We now have 8 program spots available:
- 2 spots for August 2025 – July 2026
- 2 spots for September 2025 – August 2026
- 2 spots for October 2025 – September 2026, and
- 2 new spots for November 2025-October 2026
TIFS is a unique, person-centred life skills program designed for adults with intellectual disabilities who are eager to grow their skills and confidence for living independently. Over the course of one year, participants receive individualized coaching and have the opportunity to “try out” independent living through short-term overnight stays in our TIFS apartment.

If you or someone you know would be a great fit for TIFS, we’d love to hear from you!
Though many participants sign-up individually, we also welcome pairs of potential roommates to go through the program together. If you have a possible roommate in mind, TIFS can support both individuals in trying out this dynamic through shared coaching and overnight experiences, while still working on individualized goals.
Interested in Applying?
The first step is to come for a visit to the program—meet the team and some current participants, tour the apartment, ask questions, and discuss your goals.
To arrange an appointment for your TIFS visit, please email alyssa@larchetoronto.org
With only 8 spots available —and limited space for each start date— we encourage interested applicants to get in touch soon. Applications for the September–November start dates are due by Friday, August 22nd, though some spaces may fill before then.
Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or to book a visit.
We look forward to hearing from you—and please share this opportunity within your networks! 🙂
