We receive many inquiries about how a person with an intellectual disability can live in one of our homes. Because most adults with intellectual disabilities, known in L’Arche as core people choose to make L’Arche home for life, we have very limited openings. Friends are always welcome at our events and regularly scheduled prayer nights. You can read about the process of becoming a core person in the event that we do have an opening, or to assist you in the process of finding another residential provider in D.C. or Virginia.
