From CLBC's website:
"Home sharing is a type of CLBC funded residential service that supports adults to live as fully and independently as possible in the community. In home sharing, an eligible adult who needs a residential support service and the person providing support live together in the same house. In some situations, support is provided in the individual’s home (live-in support) and in others it is in the provider’s home. Whether support is provided in the individual’s home or the provider’s home, it should feel like home for everybody involved. When home sharing is arranged in the home sharing provider’s home, individuals always have their own personal space which they can decorate and make their own."
