Who we are
On December 16, 1955, a group of dedicated parents founded what is now called Community Living Victoria (CLV). Today, as the largest non-profit community living service provider on Vancouver Island, Community Living Victoria provides a range of support services to children, youth and adults with intellectual disabilities and their families.
Our work is guided by our values, experience and history and draws from strong roots in the community. Community Living Victoria recognizes the rights of everyone to have a full range of life choices, including access to education, affordable and appropriate housing, leisure options, gainful employment and participation in the community. A healthy community encourages the involvement of everyone.
A message from our Executive Director – Mike Jensen
June 2024 – This past year we have seen many changes at Community Living Victoria. CLV has a completely new management team. This new team brings a wealth of experience and passion to supporting people with intellectual disabilities, coaching teams, and embracing technology to improve efficiencies in our work which in turn enables us to spend more time with the people we support.

Thanks for another successful campaign!
Our “Reach for the Sun” and “Reach for the Stars” Campaigns aim to raise $10,000. Our Reach for the Sun campaign raised almost $8,000.00 this summer; while it was just shy of our goals, we thank all donors for their generosity. Over the past three decades, these campaigns have collectively raised more than $177,000, which has been instrumental in empowering the people we support.
Our Annual Reach for the Stars campaign will be kicking off in November, so please consider contributing. Every dollar counts towards making meaningful difference in people’s lives.
CARF Accreditation
Community Living Victoria completed our 7th Accreditation survey in June of 2024. We welcomed 5 surveyors back 4 in person and one virtually. It was a great success, we did not receive any recommendations and have received another 3 year accreditation award. The surveyors heard from several individuals and families how confident people feel with our services. Words like “trust”, “acceptance”, “a place of belonging” and “safe” were mentioned by many people interviewed. This speaks to the ongoing commitment we have at CLV to the people we support to live as independently as possible and to receive services in a way that works best for them. We will receive the actual report from CARF in approximately 6 weeks and it will be shared with everyone on the website. A sincere THANK YOU to everyone for all the work that went into preparing for the survey which reflects our ongoing commitment to the people we support by delivering exceptional services.
