Please amend the proposed definition of Group Home to accommodate supervision by live-in assistants.  I write with a deep concern for programs like L’Arche, which nurture community that extends beyond supervision and services, and promotes shared life for all residents and an invaluable sense of mutual belonging. 

Programs that include live-in assistants encourages help from not only the hands but the heart.

Please remove the phrase “who do not live in the home” to allow for live-in assistants.
