The agency is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and receives funding from the Ministry of Community and Social Services. However, many of the activities supported here do not receive government funding, this is the reason our Board Members must organize fundraising events. Funds raised at these events enable the organization to offer clients financial support with the cost of vacations, the start up costs of moving into independent living situations and emergencies that arise. These additional dollars also help replace furniture and equipment in our group homes, purchase wheelchair vehicles, sponsor special events for clients and give honorariums to people from the community who are special friends of the people supported by Community Living Hanover.
