Housing for adults with IDD is complex and there is not a one-size-fits all approach. We are using a person-centered model with different tiers of support that parents can choose from. From villages with a medical centre and a community centre to second storey six plexes, there is a range of options. If there is someone you know who is compatible with your loved one, please reach out to that parent and we will do our best to accommodate them.
