VELA
Vela is a non-profit society originally formed to offer subsidized housing to people with developmental challenges in the Greater Vancouver area of British Columbia. In 1989 the board members of Vela Housing Society recognized that living in community housing, even if affordable, did not ensure membership in that community. As a result, the Vela board developed a pilot project to facilitate three microboards in Vancouver. Since that time, Vela's network of microboards has expanded to included over 500 microboards throughout B.C., with affiliates in Northern Ireland, Australia and Virginia (Community Opportunities).
Tennessee Microboard Association
The Tennessee Microboard Association was formed to provide support and training to microboards across the state. The mission of TMA is to promote the creation of microboards for individuals with disabilities in keeping with the principles of self-determination, freedom, authority and responsibility.
