Community Involvement Legacy Homes is a non-profit housing corporation
established to enable people with intellectual disabilities to live in a home
they can call their own. We will provide, maintain and secure housing in the
neighbourhoods and communities of Leeds and Grenville so the people with
intellectual disabilities can live as valued citizens, in inclusive housing, that
neither congregates nor segregates them.
Legacy Homes will own the house. The person, who requires support, with their
family and support network will make it a home. Legacy Homes will ensure
security of tenure through a lease agreement. There will be a commitment made to
recognize the reality that people must have the right to change their housing
arrangements as their needs and desires change.
