L’Arche is an organization in which developmentally disabled adults, core members, live side by side with assistants who are not disabled.  A L’Arche home becomes a family, with the joys and trials of any family.  In my experience as a L’Arche volunteer, I noticed the love shared between the core members and the assistants as they go about their daily lives, including meals, trips, and work sites.  It is a beautiful model of caring and shared responsibility that would be greatly diminished if the assistants were forced to live apart.  Do not make a law that creates this problem when the present model works beautifully.
