The creation of this specific premises is already being implemented on an area of 22 acres, in which the Center for the Provision of Services and Employment for people with intellectual disabilities operates. The first house, inaugurated in March 2006, operated as a pilot subject to corrections and adjustments. This valuable experience was used in the future when coordinating the next four houses. The innovation of the project lies in the fact that the spaces where people are employed and participate in various activities co-exist in the same area, as well as the fact that they live at a distance that is not particularly far. At the same time, a wide range of supportive services for individuals and their families will serve both the employees of the Center and the residents of the houses.

The creation by the Association of this specific premises of supported living is based on the model of semi-autonomous living, which captures the potentials of the disabled and seeks to improve already existing skills.

A key principle that governs our supported living philosophy is to try to match the environment with the person, not the person with the environment.
