MINDEMOYA—The province of Ontario is investing in repairs, renovations and improved living spaces at residential properties across the province that serve adults with developmental disabilities. In Mindemoya, Community Living Manitoulin (CLM) is receiving $10,000 in funding to increase capacity and support program delivery.
The funding is being provided through the Multi-Year Residential Planning Strategy to help people across the province with developmental disabilities by improving existing living spaces and creating more capacity, helping to reduce waitlists for residential services and supports.
“Our government’s investment in residential supports for adults with developmental disabilities focuses on improving residential settings that serve some of the province’s most vulnerable people,” said Dr. Helena Jaczek, Minister of Community and Social Services, in a press release. “There is no one size fits all approach to housing for adults with developmental disabilities and we are eager to continue to work with our partners to person-centred innovative solutions to the developmental services sector in our province.”
Tammie Molinaar, executive director of CLM said, “Community Living Manitoulin recognizes the crisis facing people with an intellectual disability and their families with respect to acquiring support and services. This funding allows us to meet the needs of a person with complex care, without which CLM could not meet the needs and basic living supports that people rely on.”
