What is Individualized Funding?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve completed your planning with CLBC and been approved for CLBC funding, you can use Individualized Funding (IF).<\/p>\n

This option allows you and your family to direct and manage your services. Some people choose IF because it gives them more choice and flexibility to set up personalized, self-directed supports.<\/p>\n

The amount of Individualized Funding you can get is decided the same way as funding for CLBC services. It\u2019s based on your disability-related needs, the cost of supports and CLBC\u2019s available budget.<\/p>\n

After confirming your eligibility and finishing the Welcome and Planning process<\/a>, a facilitator will help you decide your next steps. You can either work with CLBC staff to find a local provider or use IF to create supports that meet your needs.<\/p>\n

You can also learn about another flexible, person-centred option for managing funding and services called a Person Centred Society here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
