Host Agency
Helping People Find Support Arrangements
A Host Agency is a funding arrangement where CLBC, Integra and a family or individual, can apply for and receive funding to purchase their own services through their choice of agency. This means that individuals and families do not have to take on the administrative tasks of becoming an employer. Service types may include a wide range of options to be determined between the family, a Representative, the individual and CLBC. Referrals are arranged through CLBC. Funding is allocated by CLBC.
Different Service Types
The type of support people receive is dependent on specific needs outlined in a Person Centred Plan, Health Care Plan, and other information provided by the family or support network. The information in these plans are updated annually and include information from all available sources so as to provide the most current and accurate details.
