A Real Home. Real Support. Real Independence.
When we think of care options for adults with disabilities or complex support needs, we often imagine group homes, assisted living facilities, or in-home caregivers. But what if there was a more personal, flexible, and empowering way to receive care — one that offers both support and a sense of belonging?
That’s where Home Sharing comes in.
What Is Home Sharing?
Home Sharing is a Community Living BC (CLBC)-funded service designed to support adults in leading more independent and fulfilling lives —
in a real home setting, not an institution.
Through this model, adults are matched with approved Home Share providers who welcome them into their homes and provide the level
of care and support they need. This arrangement could be:
- Living with a family
- Staying with a couple
- Sharing space with a roommate
- Or residing in a private suite within the provider’s home
Each setup is tailored around the individual’s goals, routines, preferences, and level of support needed, making it a truly person-centered care model.
Why Home Sharing Works
The success of Home Sharing lies in its flexibility and focus on relationships. Rather than a one-size-fits-all facility, individuals receive care in a warm, welcoming environment that mirrors regular family or shared living.
Key benefits of home sharing:
- Greater independence while still receiving essential support
- Personalized care matched to daily routines and preferences
- Stronger sense of community and connection
- Stable, long-term living arrangements
- Flexible support models, from full-time to part-time care
