What is Community Living?
Community Living is about helping adults of all ages, with a range of disabilities and support needs (such as developmental disabilities, autism, or FASD), thrive within their own community. The goal of Community Living programs in B.C. is to help those they serve in a way that is integrated within the communities where they live. Services are provided throughout the province by over a hundred non-profit community partners, many of whom are funded by a contract with Community Living BC, an agent of the Government of BC.
Although the services offered in each community may differ, they can include supporting people with their housing or living arrangements, learning new skills, and finding jobs. There is also support available to ensure the well-being of eligible individuals and their families.

OUR APPROACH
Thriving in community
Community Living is founded on the belief that people do best when they have a diverse network to give them support and a strong sense of belonging and connection, including family and friends, neighbours, employers, and local social and recreational groups. This gives each person the best chance of finding the best life they can within the community they call home.
