When you have multiple participants living in a group home or SIL, chances are you'll have joint costs like groceries, utilities and other miscellaneous items. Here's how you can use SpendAble to manage these joint funds.
In this article we will step you through how to set up the accounts for a full SIL house.
Why would I set up a SIL house in SpendAble?
Creating a Site for each of your SIL's allows you to manage the residents of the SIL, the staff who support and manage the SIL and makes it easier to view your SIL spending in the same way you manage them operationally.
How to create a SIL Site
1. Go to the 'Groups' Tab and select 'Create Group'
2. Populate the group mane with the site name, the description, choose a group manager (generally the area manager or house manager) and select 'site' as the group type
3. One wallet will be created by default. You can then choose 'create wallet' if you need additional site wallets
4. Select 'connect user' to add the residents and staff to the house. You'll then see your SIL site visualised as below
NOTE — When you connect or remove a staff member to a Site group, that user will automatically be connected/removed to all site wallets and the wallets of participant connected to the site. This makes it easier than ever to adjust access to money
