Who gets support from Community Living?

People who have a developmental/intellectual disability and live in Chatham-Kent are eligible for services. An intellectual disability is a significant learning impairment that may cause a person to have difficulty adapting to the demands of everyday life.

How can I access supports and services from Community Living?

Beginning July 2011, adults (over the age of 18 years) with a developmental disability will access services and supports using a new approach. A network of nine (9) Developmental Services Ontario contact points will replace a variety of application processes across the province.
