Community Living Belleville and Area is a non-profit charitable organization that has provided a range of services and supports to adults and children with intellectual disabilities for over 65 years. Guided by our corporate Mission and Vision, we are committed to supporting people with disabilities through the promotion of their own individual empowerment and autonomy over their own lives. The supports and activities provided are determined by the person and/or their families or other support networks. These supports enable people to participate in the life of the community, lead active and productive lives and discover, celebrate and further develop the capacities that lie within.
We are funded by Ontario's Ministry of Community & Social Services, Ministry of Children & Youth Services and Ministry of Health & Long-Term Care. Additional funding is generated through special events, grants, donations and bequests. In March 2014, Community Living Belleville and Area was awarded a second consecutive four-year Accreditation in Person-Centred Excellence through The Council on Quality and Leadership (CQL).
OUR MISSION: Community Living Belleville and Area exists to provide quality supports to people with intellectual disabilities and to facilitate their full inclusion in community life. Community Living Belleville and Area is also mandated to educate the larger community and to advocate wherever necessary on behalf of people with intellectual disabilities and their families.
OUR VISION: Community Living Belleville and Area envisions a community where everyone belongs and all people are valued and respected as participating and contributing members.
