home sharing standards course – CLBC’s Standards for Home Sharing course (http://www.communitylivingbc.ca/Home-Sharing-Standards-Course) has been developed in partnership with Open School BC and provides an overview of the standards, principles, and promising practices associated with this residential option. The course contains information that is required for home sharing providers who contract directly with CLBC and is available for anyone who would like to complete the course. If you have questions about this course, please contact Reta Derouin ([email protected]).

The guide reflects 3 years of research, conversation, and collaboration between the many people involved with the delivery of shared living services within this province. The guide is an invaluable resource for agencies currently delivering shared living services and for those that are considering seeking to become qualified to deliver this service.
