    "L’Arche is about people, with and without an intellectual disability, who share their lives in homes, workshops and day programmes which are grouped into what L’Arche calls communities. Small communities might consist of two houses and possibly a little workshop. The original community of the Federation in Trosly-Breuil encompasses today nine houses and a workshop with more than 100 workers." (http://www.larche.org/en/discover/faq/what_is_a_larche_community)
