L'Arche Atlanta

L’Arche, “the Ark” in French, is a high-impact international federation of over 140 communities worldwide whose mission is to build community with people of all abilities and to help our society imagine the human family differently, inspiring others to similar initiatives. We do this primarily through inter-faith homes where four adults with intellectual disabilities and four assistants share life together, living in the manner of a family, fully engaged in the larger community. Each L’Arche community is a grassroots, local effort. L’Arche Atlanta opened our first home in August 2012, and will open our second home in 2022.
