Community Living Fort Frances and District, its workers and residents are jointly calling on the province for more funding to help those access the agency's services.
Executive director Alanna Barr says about 55 people with developmental disabilities are now on a wait list, some for several years.
"For several years now, the province has asked agencies that support individuals with a developmental disability to do more with the new funding investment in the sector," says Barr. "However, doing more with the funding that been given to the sector still leaves us at a loss to support those family members that are waiting for services with our agency."
Barr says agencies across the province are in similar situations.
