A NEW SITE TO DEVELOP AND IMPROVE CARE

The L’Arche à Dijon (“Ark in Dijon”) community comprises three centers housing 21 people with developmental disabilities and their caregivers, as well as a daytime activity center with a 30-person capacity.

The Groupe SEB Fund is supporting L’Arche à Dijon in its relocation to Chenôve, which will allow the community to:

• regroup activities,
• expand the three housing centers and the daytime activity center, doubling their capacity,
• create a space specifically for seniors and retirees with disabilities.

In the long term, L’Arche à Dijon will be able to house 26 individuals with developmental disabilities, with a particular focus on:

• young adults who have lived most of their lives in residential facilities for children with developmental disabilities, due to a lack of available places in structures for adults;
• seniors with disabilities whose needs require specific support.
