In 2010, WDDS identified the need for additional support and housing models beyond the traditional Group Living and SIL in response to the Ministry’s statement that “Group home living is too expensive”1 and that some people are over supported in this arrangement. WDDS has since committed resources towards research of Alternative Models of Support and Housing. The research expanded beyond Canada to include: the United States, England, Scotland, Ireland, and Australia.
