Since 2018, the facility has also offered an inclusive housing service, providing an autonomous and supportive living environment for people with disabilities.
This initiative, which has doubled its capacity to 20 places, allows individuals with a certain level of autonomy and sufficient financial resources to live in adapted housing while receiving social, administrative, and medical support.
Through rental intermediation, the MAS secures the rent and simplifies relations between tenants and landlords. However, rent, utility bills, and food expenses are the responsibility of the residents. Some of them are employed in regular work environments: “A former resident of the care centre now works full-time in a bakery and has joined the inclusive housing system,” says Laure Guérin.
The housing units are grouped together and located near the facility to facilitate support and encourage social interaction between tenants. A mentorship system has been set up to help newcomers settle in. “Our goal is to create a true community of mutual support and encourage shared living,” adds Laure Guérin.
