As the special needs support system evolves, there are new housing options as well as new challenges. We want to advise from the small details to the overall picture, depending on needs. Usually, the main task our client families face is deciding on the correct housing arrangement. We are also there to support families through the maze of regulation and paperwork necessary to access services. For those looking to base their long-term solutions in the private sector, we inform on issues like caretakers, appropriate supports and safety factors, and grants for creating housing and care options. Many of the special needs individuals we work for are interested in employment and all wish for a purposeful life.
