    • Supported Living

    inclusion powell river supports individuals with disabilities to live as independently as possible. There are a variety of options including group homes, supported living, and shared homes with single adults or families.

    If you were born with a physical, mental, or intellectual disability 70 years ago, you were often sent away to live in an institution.

    Thankfully, a group of forward-thinking parents in Powell River got together to prove that individuals with disabilities can lead full lives in the community with the proper support.

    Over time, changes to legislation, hearts, and minds created opportunities for individuals with disabilities to thrive right here in Powell River / qathet.
