Who We Are
Our Mission & Vision
Shalom Residences Inc. empowers adults with intellectual disabilities to live meaningful, dignified lives in community-based homes in Winnipeg, enriched by Jewish values.
We envision a community where individuals with intellectual disabilities are fully included, self-actualized, and valued in all aspects of life.
An important milestone this week - the final closure of the Manitoba Development CentreA great win to see the Manitoba Developmental Centre, an institution for people with intellectual disabilities, finally closing its doors. It's with many thanks to the tireless efforts of advocates and community organizations including New Directions for Children, Youth, Adults & Families and Community Living - Manitoba.![]()
