Community Living British Columbia (CLBC) is committed to a vision of supporting people with intellectual disabilities to live “Good lives in Welcoming Communities”. Home Sharing is a residential option that strives to support that vision.

Inclusive housing should provide people with a sense of home and belonging within their community and promote quality of life.
