“In fy24, l'arche north carolina made significant progress in building an inclusive community where people with and without intellectual disabilities (idd) share life together. Our efforts focused on preparing to open our first residential home, expanding community programs, and fostering meaningful connections. 1. Completion of renovations for l'arche north carolina's first home * we completed the necessary renovations on our first l'arche home in south durham, ensuring it is a safe, accessible, and welcoming space for adults with intellectual disabilities. *these renovations marked a major milestone in our journey to provide affordable, community-based housing for core members, creating a model of shared living that fosters dignity and belonging. 2. Hiring a qualified professional to support residential care * to ensure high-quality care and compliance with state regulations, we hired a qualified professional (qp) to oversee our residential program. * the qp plays a critical role in training assistants, supporting core members, and establishing care structures that prioritize personal growth, independence, and inclusion. 3. Expansion of community events & social opportunities * recognizing the need for socialization and inclusion, we expanded the number of monthly gatherings that bring together people with and without idd. * these events provide vital opportunities for individuals to build friendships, reduce isolation, and break down societal barriers that often exclude people with disabilities. * our programs continue to create spaces where everyone is valued and celebrated, reinforcing l'arche's mission of mutual transformation through relationships. Through these initiatives, l'arche north carolina made meaningful strides toward welcoming core members into a home of belonging, growing our community-based programs, and building a more inclusive society. As we move into fy25, we are excited to open the doors of our first home and continue expanding opportunities for connection and support.”
