A more widespread approach is the "Home for the Disabled" program, a nationwide network of community-based service centers. These centers typically organize sheltered work like processing or handicrafts, provide vocational training to enhance employability, and offer daily care alongside basic rehabilitation services.

Jiangsu has pioneered a distinctive model by combining these centers with intangible cultural heritage preservation. This approach seeks to harness growing consumer demand for innovative cultural products. By training participants in time-honored techniques — such as paper-cutting, eggshell carving and embroidery under the guidance of ICH masters, the program creates skilled employment that bolsters both income and dignity.
