Establishment and development of social service infrastructure network for persons with intellectual and/or mental disabilities in Kaunas district municipality

Kaunas district municipal administration aims to create the conditions necessary for an effective and sustainable transition from institutional care to community-provided services for persons with intellectual and/or mental disabilities, which would promote the autonomy of service recipients and full participation in the community. Contributing to the development of the network of community social services infrastructure in Kaunas region, 4 group living houses will be built in the Kaunas district on the plots purchased with the funds of the project, creating 40 accommodation places for persons with mental and/or mental disabilities from the social care center “Vija”, 25-seat day employment centre/social workshop, 12-seat social workshop and 10-seat social workshop in Kaunas district for all these three objects purchasing suitable premises in the district. The project will improve the accessibility of community-based accommodation and daily employment services for adults with mental and/or mental disabilities.
