Colel Chabad ‘Smart Apartments’ to Help Disabled Live Independently

from The Jewish Press:

A new project launched by the Colel Chabad charitable organization together with Israel’s Ministry of Social Services and Welfare is working to provide disabled adults with communal apartments specifically intended to address their individual challenges and needs.

The first apartments, located next to the Grabski Rehabilitation Center in Migdal HaEmek in northern Israel, provide the residents with completely independent and private living spaces.

The Center itself houses 40 residents between the ages of 18-50, all of whom are challenged with varying issues in mobility and functioning. Colel Chabad works in a variety of ways to help those in need through programs and initiatives that run throughout the year.
