Support

We offer housing and living options to suit the unique needs of each person we support.
Two women work together in a kitchen, making a plan as they cook. One woman smiles, holding a container of salt, while the other, wearing glasses, stirs ingredients in a mixing bowl. Various food items are on the counter.

At Community Living, our approach is guided by Nou te Mana – The Power is Within You.

We believe that true power lies within each person and we are here to support you in living the life you choose.

Our flexible support is designed to adapt to what you want, empowering you to take control of your life within your community. We work with most funding models or ways of providing support such as CiCL (Choices in Community Living), EGL (Enabling Good Lives), SIL (Supported Independent Living), Residential Services, Transitions from School, ACC Living My Life, and so on. Whether you need live-in, occasional, overnight or even support from our amazing On Call 24/7 team, we can be there as much or as little as we’re needed.
