Communities of belonging, lives with connection” is the vision that guides Community Living BC (CLBC), a Crown corporation that has been responsible for arranging supports and services for adults with developmental disabilities and their families since its inception in 2005. Emerging from a grassroots movement of families and self-advocates, CLBC was created to address their unique needs through a government-funded organization. The organization operates under the Community Living Authority Act, is subject to government policy, and reports to the Minister of Social Development and Poverty Reduction through a dedicated Board. Today, CLBC serves over 29,000 individuals across the province.
