Here.

What happens to our most vulnerable population as they age in a city like NY? Our non-profit needs real estate and the support of compassionate New Yorkers to help us realize our micro community where all residents will achieve a life which maximizes autonomy and dignity.

For.

People with disabilities, and neurotypical friends will come together to live side by side in a purposefully designed community. Everyone will have their own private apartment, with or without a roommate as preference and necessity dictate. Neurotypical residents will be offered an opportunity to be a paid neighbor in exchange for reduced rent.

This.

Communal spaces like gardens and kitchens will be an integral part of the shared living experience. Supports will be provided both on and off site, and will also be managed in accordance with stipulations of self-direction funds. We need to acquire real estate, hire builders, architects, and visionaries to help develop our dream. Are you coming?
