Community Living Trent Highlands

What Community Living Trent Highlands does

Community Living Trent Highlands (CLTH) is a charitable not-for-profit organization incorporated in 2017 through the amalgamation of Community Living Haliburton, Community Living Kawartha Lakes, and Community Living Peterborough. Headquartered in Lindsay, Ontario, with additional offices in Peterborough and Haliburton, the organization serves people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families across three counties in central Ontario. Its service portfolio spans the full lifecycle: children and youth programs (Building Bridges, Early Learning Resource Program, ELQI, Family Support, Foundations), adult accommodations (Community Homes, Supported Independent Living, Life Share Program), community participation and respite services, and employment support (Job Quest, Connex).

The organization operates a free consumer-facing mobile application called Respite Now, built in partnership with Tri-County Community Services and the HKPR Respite Committee, which matches caregivers seeking respite with local respite workers across Haliburton, Kawartha Lakes, Peterborough, and Northumberland counties. CLTH's core technology footprint is otherwise limited; no proprietary platform, AI/ML capability, or enterprise software stack is disclosed in available sources.

CLTH's revenue model is government-funded managed services. The Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services is the primary operational funder, with supplementary funding from the City of Kawartha Lakes, two United Way chapters, Employment Ontario, and Fleming College. Programs are delivered at no direct cost to end users through government-funded entitlements. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors, led by Executive Director Teresa Jordan, and employs 251-500 staff operating direct support and community-based services across three counties.
