Any adult who is eligible for CLBC, has completed planning and been notified they are allocated funding for supports is eligible for Individualized Funding (IF). IF is an important alternative to receiving supports through a CLBC funded agency. Through the IF option, services for you and/or your family is directed and managed by you and/or your family. Some individuals and families choose IF because they find it gives them more choice in how they set up their services and supports, allowing for more flexible, person-centred, self-directed services. The process to determine the amount of IF funding you can receive is the same as the process to determine how much service and support you are approved to receive from a CLBC-funded agency. In both cases, it is based on your disability-related needs, the estimated cost of the supports you need, and CLBC’s available funding.
