About Shared Living
Shared Living is entirely person centered and can provide a balance of support and independence. Relationships are built over time with honesty, respect, clear communication, and inclusion. Compatibility is the key to successful living arrangements and, when we are matching Providers to individuals, we seek people whose personalities, lifestyles and interests will complement the people they will support. Shared Living strives to respect all aspects of a person’s life, which includes meeting their physical, emotional, social and spiritual well-being.
Being a Shared Living Provider is a unique role. It starts with openness to sharing life with another person and their family and friends. They welcome a new person into their home and life and over time a deepening relationship develops with the individual and his or her social circle. The qualities of Shared Living Providers include a commitment to providing a warm and supportive home, good communication and problem-solving skills and a willingness to learn new things; a sense of humour helps too!
Kinsight Society (formerly The Simon Fraser Society for Community Living) supports people with various abilities and disabilities. We are seeking knowledgeable people to provide a long term supportive home for an adult …We look for people who are committed to the values and principles of community living and who wish to provide a home that supports the person's needs, goals and dreams.
This opportunity:
Are you an individual or a family with an additional private living area? Are you kind, caring, compassionate and non-judgmental? Kinsight’s mission statement is “Everyone’s Welcome. Everyone Belongs. Everywhere.” We are currently looking for someone committed to providing long-term, shared living support for a young gentleman who is independent, intelligent, friendly and quiet. AS really enjoys pets, playing video games and does tend to be up late at night.

Kinsight also provides AS weekly skill development support that he enjoys and looks forward to.
If you feel that you can offer a warm, inclusive, supportive home and relationship to AS, please forward your resume to: SharedLiving@kinsight.org
