"I think it is important for donors to know that our clients are integrated into the community rather than housed all together in one housing unit. To me, that indicates a respect for the client, and the recognition that inclusion is important for individuals who have been isolated and their social contacts controlled by their partner. It is also indicative of the community-mindedness that exists in West Niagara."
