What is Home Sharing?
Home Sharing is a residential option for adults with developmental disabilities. Individuals share a home with qualified, and screened caregivers who provide ongoing support to the individual. Home Sharing is the most accessed housing option offered by Community Living British Columbia (CLBC), which is the provincial crown corporation that funds, supports and provides services to adults with developmental disabilities. An individual may live with just one other person, with a family, or semi-independently in a separate suite.
