“Our community partners help individuals with intellectual disabilities live, learn and participate in their communities,” Social Services Minister Terry Jenson said.

“Investing in facilities helps homes and programs remain welcoming spaces where individuals can build skills, develop relationships and gain greater independence,” he added.

According to the release, group homes and respite homes offer a supportive living environment, while day programs provide social, recreational and employment opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities.

“By investing in these services, we are ensuring that more individuals with intellectual disabilities will have the opportunity to participate and thrive in their communities,” the release wrote.
