Supported Living Homes

At L’Arche Greater Vancouver, our Supported Living Homes are inclusive communities where adults with developmental disabilities and Assistants live, grow, and share daily life together. Each Home is a vibrant place of friendship, respect, and belonging—where every individual’s gifts are celebrated, and each day is filled with meaning.

Our Supported Living Homes offer adults with developmental disabilities a nurturing place to call home, living alongside supportive Assistants who share life’s everyday moments. Each Home reflects the values of care, inclusion and belonging that define our community life.

Families and friends are integral to our community. They enable greater inclusion, diversity, mutual learning, and understanding. They are invited to join for meals, birthday celebrations, and weekend activities like bowling, movies, and coffee.

Some of the Homes are part of our modern building at 7415 Sussex Avenue in Burnaby, while others are located nearby. All our Homes are fully licensed by the Fraser Health Authority, ensuring the highest standards of personalized, compassionate care.
