Disabled people thriving in the community

Support & Funding Options

Since 1989, Community Living has empowered people to live as they choose by partnering with disabled people, their families, and whaanau.

We offer housing and living options to suit the unique needs of each person we support.

Traditionally, housing was under the “Residential” model, with the house, the staff and everything else as a package deal with very little choice or control over who you live with, where you live, or who supports you.

We’re changing that.

Do meaningful work in your community

Connect, learn, and grow with social activities, skill-building programs, and community events. From Te Whare O Tuuhono drop-in spaces to vocational opportunities like Lawn and Order, there’s something for everyone.
