Home Share is a type of Community Living British Columbia (CLBC) funded home support that supports adults to live as fully and independently as possible in their home. Home Share is a supported living option in which an adult qualifying through the Developmental Disability or Personalized Supports Initiative streams, shares a home with a Home Share provider, who also provides ongoing individualized support.
Many Home Share providers agree that this type of support is a rewarding lifestyle. Individuals tend to choose this option because it provides an ideal balance of support and independence. Home Sharing is person-centred in that it allows individuals to select a Home Share provider and home environment that meets their unique goals and preferences. Home Share providers offer a living space and support services to foster community inclusion for participants. arc programs will support both the home share provider and the individual in the home and coordinate services.
Adults interested in the Home Share program may contact their local CLBC office at 250-712-3610 and speak with a Facilitator to assess their eligibility.
