I am writing to request that you maintain the definition of group home so as to allow the L'Arche community to continue to invite assistants to share life with residents in their community homes. The proposed change would adversely affect L'Arche by preventing care givers from living in the home.  This would remove choice for people with Intellectual Disabilities. L'Arche GWDC is a living example of a more humane society where people can live together and share their comon humanity.  

Thank you.
