Miller Contracting was awarded the privilege in 2016 to build Harbour Home and Harmony Home. Both are group homes deigned specifically for individuals with special needs. The two 4-bedroom bungalows were built to be accessible with wider hallways, space to easily maneuver wheelchairs and a spa room. The units were designed to let each unique individual live as independently as possible with assistance. The residents moved into their new home in early 2018 the grand opening was on October 18, 2019. Dan Yungwirth, General Manager said, “it really gives you a sense of pride to be involved in different and special projects.”
There can be some misconceptions on what a group home is and how they can affect neighbourhoods. The importance of having group homes is to help those with various special needs within the community and to have a safe, well built and efficient home. This is of the upmost importance to the team at Miller Contracting Ltd.
