The Home Sharing Coordinators Handbook Template 

The Home Sharing Coordinators Handbook Template  

The Home Sharing Coordinators Handbook Template has been developed by the BC CEO Network as a template and should be customized to each organization’s specific organizational structure, practices, policies and terminology. 

The handbook supports quality service and is based on standards and best practices. It considers Quality of Life outcomes, accreditation standards and CLBC Standards for the Coordination of Shared Living. 

Developed as a best-practice framework, this handbook helps agencies: 

• Standardize internal policies 

• Promote equity and cultural safety 

• Implement quality assurance systems 

• Align with accreditation standards and CLBC policies 

Agencies are encouraged to customize the template to reflect their own organizational practices. The handbook includes tools for: 

• Incident response 

• Emergency planning 

• Provider evaluations 

• Coordinated service planning 

Home sharing is delivered throughout the province by a network of home sharing providers that are under contract with qualified community-based agencies and under direct contract with CLBC. 

To offer shared living services, agencies must go through a formal qualification process. The list of qualified suppliers is regularly reviewed and revised.
