BC farms out adults with intellectual disabilities on Craigslist in cost-cutting "service redesign" initiative

BC farms out adults with intellectual disabilities on
Craigslist in cost-cutting “service redesign” initiative

October 21, 2010
Below is a list of ads currently running on Craigslist, some of them offering “Free Rent!” and
salary to anyone willing to share their home with one or more adults with developmental
disabilities. CLBC is currently forcing disabled adults from group homes where they have lived
happily in some cases for over 20 years and farming them out on Craigslist.
Unlike professionally staffed group homes, which must be licensed, inspected and subjected to
independent oversight, home share contractors are not subject to any independent oversight and
the potential for abuse is enormous.
Today, BC’s Advocate for Service Quality responded to growing community concerns by
refusing to intervene, stating that her mandate only permits her to respond if an individual files a
formal complaint. The Advocate for Service Quality answers to Minister Rich Coleman (the
minister who ordered the cuts).
