Home Sharing Arrangements (Community Living BC) 

Home Sharing is a flexible, person-centered support model funded by Community Living BC (CLBC) that enables adults with developmental disabilities to live in a welcoming, supportive home environment. Instead of living in staffed residential settings, individuals in home sharing arrangements live in the home of a contracted caregiver, a Home Sharing Provider, who offers personalized, day-to-day support. 

Home sharing emphasizes inclusion, independence, and the development of natural relationships. It is built on the belief that everyone has the right to a safe, respectful home and to participate fully in community life.
