Committee chairman Roland McCaffrey announced this week that the residence for young adults directly across Andrew street from the church will be open by that time. The property was offered to the church early in the year by its owner Mrs.Alma Southcott for one half the appraised value providing it was used for community work. The committee spent abOut a year in analyzing the needs of 'the community before deciding to establish a home for retarded young adults. The h ouse is being leased • to the South Huron Association for the Mentally Retarded: While applications for f re ,sidence in the home are being accepted by the committee it is likely most will be trainees from the ARC workshop at Dashwood. Four persons can be. accommodated at one time along with a house parent. The committee is now open for requests for admission. The type of resident expected will be higher functioning adults in their 20's and 30's who have fairly well developed selfhelp skills and are capable of being involved in the general operation of the home. The home is expected to be a levning and training centre where the residents will go to, a less supervised type of accommodation such as a sha red apartment.
