“There is no substitute for the right to privacy and complete autonomy along with the tools and support that I have available to me. Shalheveth’s apartment complex project has made this possible for me. This model has placed in my physically limited hands choices and options that I have never previously had.”

“Together with my neighbors in the building, who are also physically challenged, and with their support, I have become more confident and take more initiative with other people. I feel it is important to point out the atmosphere created in the building by the joint activities, workshops, meetings and tenants’ evenings, all of which have contributed and contribute to the intimate atmosphere. All this takes place within a framework of independent living, without the interference of outsiders, only with the assistance of the tenants themselves.”
