Community Integration

Community integration is about integrating people with disabilities into their communities in ways that respect them as individuals rather than reducing them to their disability labels. It can mean living in affordable, integrated housing that reflects an individual’s needs and preferences. It may also mean pursuing meaningful work in non-segregated employment settings, participating in religious or faith-based activities, or visiting local parks and nature centers.

Sunshine believes that true community integration only occurs when people of all abilities participate side-by-side. To facilitate this, we offer opportunities to learn and build practical life skills that help participants become more engaged in their communities.
