Second House Is Opened! 

Picture
We are thrilled to launch the second L'Arche Atlanta home, Clairemont House! This milestone represents the culmination of years of work among L'Arche Atlanta donors, supporters, board members, and staff. 

On June 1st, 2022 a new group of Assistants moved in and began establishing themselves as a team learning to be Direct Support Professionals. To ensure the highest level of care for our Core Members, training included a wide variety of topics related to supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD): engaging individuals with IDD in their full humanity; communication and conflict management skills, CPR and first aid training, home safety, and healthcare coordination. In July and August the Clairemont Houses's founding Core Member moved into the home. Eight individuals are now building and inclusive community together, learning, and celebrating each other's gifts. 

In December, L'Arche hosted its first "Two Homes; One Community" Secret Santa party. Core Members and Assistants from the Mead Road home and the Clairemont House gathered to mark the season in joyous celebration 

Thanks to the support of many foundations, churches, business, and families & individuals who gave $1.4 million to make this dream into a reality. ​If you would like to be a part of helping L'Arche grow, GIVE HERE.
