I echo many of the comments below in support of the removal of “who do not live in the home.” We should reject the idea that segregation of abilities will make for anything better, and embrace the possibilities of inclusion as a way forward. A L’Arche home in which leadership, household responsibilities, cooking, cleaning, weekend activities, and so on are not solely dictated by who is paid to do what and who is in charge…. is possible, is beautiful and is not only to provide exceptional services to individual people, but to be sign for the larger systems of human services. A sign that a humane life is possible, one in which mutuality is freely and openly shared among those formally and financially on both ‘sides’ of service provision.

The definition, as is, would further segregate people with disabilities and result in a ‘re-institutionalization’ of people with disabilities. Please remove “who do not life in the home” and then consider coming to dinner at L’Arche Greater Washington DC.
