Vision

A future where individuals with disabilities can share the common bond of supportive living in a dignified, productive and independent manner.

 

Mission

To promote housing options for adults with disabilities, designed to reduce feelings of isolation and develop skills for living more independently in a community setting. 

Guiding Principles

  • Most, if not all, young adults with disabilities could live more independently in an intentional community with individual support for daily living and working.
  • A long term and sustainable option to housing choices for adults with disabilities needs to be provided.
  • A collaborative environment reflective of traditional neighborhoods and a strong sense of community among residents will be nurtured.
  • Living in an intentional community setting will offer increased opportunities to supplement publicly supported services with private, non-profit and volunteer support.
  • Working with project partners, residents will have outstanding opportunities for a lifetime of enrichment, lifelong learning, and empowerment to plan and carry out social and recreational activities.
