Petition text

WHEREAS individuals with intellectual disabilities or autism face significant barriers to accessing safe, healthy, and stimulating alternative living environments (supervised apartments, intermediate resources, family-type resources, etc.);

WHEREAS every individual has the right to live in an environment that guarantees them a high quality of life;

WHEREAS frequent reports of abuse have been made within alternative living environments;

WHEREAS Québec must uphold the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities;

WHEREAS the lack of residential options often leads to a mismatch between the available living environment and the life plan of these individuals;

WHEREAS there are non-profit models of alternative living environments that better meet the needs of these individuals, developed by and for the intellectual disability and autism community;

We, the undersigned, ask the Government of Québec to :

  • strengthen staff training and oversight of alternative living environments to ensure adequate living conditions;
  • ensure that intermediate and family-type resources are tailored to the evolving needs of individuals, fostering the preservation and development of their abilities;
  • give priority to non-profit alternative living environments in the creation of new spaces and actively support their development across all regions;
  • enhance and secure stable funding for non-profit alternative living environments.
