Please view the attached document regarding a new model. Page 4 talks about Inclusion BC, page 9 gives a brief description of the project, and page 11 provides the architectural floor plans.
L'Arche Level 1 and Level 2 Homes (Group):
Noted in the floor plan are 2 Homes (Group) have* 8 bedrooms each and One Home (Group) has 6 homes. (SOME bedrooms are marked as 150 square feet). It appears the bathrooms are shared bathrooms. On level 1 there are a total of 14 bedrooms fully supported for individuals with disabilities. No one else.
This model is an innovative model and includes the vision of an affordable and inclusive community; families, seniors and individuals with varying abilities - with and without disabilities. The project is moving in the right direction to create an inclusive community. My concern is that the ratio of people with disabilities is high in the homes marked Homes - Group. It will be hard to diminish the social stigma that has occurred for decades for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
