NEW FUNDING FOR THE INTELLECTUALLY DISABLED IN ITUNA

Released on November 10, 1999

People with intellectual disabilities in Ituna got some help today to lead more

independent lives.



Social Services Minister Harry Van Mulligen announced more than $127,000 in

additional funding to Deer Park Villa in Ituna. The money will be used to open

a new group home for three people.



"Community-based organizations are our partners in helping ensure people with

intellectual disabilities achieve a better quality of life in the community,

Van Mulligen said.



Deer Park Villa currently operates two group homes, an activity centre and

supported apartment living program for individuals with intellectual

disabilities in Ituna.



In 1999/2000, Social Services is providing more than $39 million to community-

based organizations that provide support for people with intellectual

disabilities. This 8.9 per cent increase over last year means individuals will

benefit from enhanced community-based programs and services.



Community-based organizations deliver a wide range of early childhood

intervention, vocational, respite, residential and other community-based

services for people with intellectual disabilities in Saskatchewan.
