WATROUS — Four new living spaces for people with intellectual disabilities have opened in Watrous under the jurisdiction of Interlake Human Resources Corporation (IHRC).
Two individuals who previously resided in IHRC's group home in Nokomis, have relocated to this new home in Watrous, and the process of accepting individuals for the remaining two spaces is currently underway. The group home will provide personal care supervision, support and other programming based on each resident's person-centred plans.
Saskatchewan Housing Corporation provided $1.4 million in construction funding and the Ministry of Social Services is providing approximately $505,000 in annual operating funding.
IHRC is a community-based organization that offers various vocational and residential services for adults with intellectual disabilities. Committed to fostering independence, IHRC strives to improve the quality of life for its program participants in their workplaces, homes, and communities, according to a press release.
Currently, IHRC operates a four-space group home and provides community-based day programming and supported living services for 16 individuals in the Watrous area.
