Pulford Community Living Services Inc., a not-for-profit community based organization, was established in November 1986 in response to the closing of a guest home that threatened to leave several people homeless. On December 1, 1986, three people moved from the guest home into their own home on Fleet Avenue, assisted by Pulford. 

P.C.L.S. Inc. Draws its philosophy from the Vulnerable Persons Act (VPA). The VPA is the act that was developed in 1996 to address the lack of ethics that existed in the previous legislation. The VPA reflects a code of conduct that has been inherent in Pulford's policies since its inception in 1986.
