Approximately 6.5 million people in the United States have an intellectual disability.
We seek to create a world that welcomes difference and celebrates the unique gifts of all people, in which each person has a genuine place of belonging.
People with intellectual disabilities should never be neglected, ignored, or pushed aside just for being themselves. They don’t belong in the margins.
Help create a place where everyone is celebrated.
DonateResidents receive the best care, opportunities to pursue their passions, and a home where their gifts are celebrated.
Live-in Assistants and Core Members build a homelife where everyone has an equal voice and seat at the table.
We welcome visitors on our porches and around our dinner tables, and we are active members of our community.
