WHAT WE DO
OUR GOAL
Raise funds to provide housing for an onsite nighttime emergency contact person (Community Builder). This person will also develop social activities for the adults in the PODS and for potential POD members, mediate roommate disputes and provide general backup assistance for POD members.
Guiding Principles
In order to build an integrative neighborhood for adults with disabilities we plan on focusing on these steps to better insure these individuals are fully supported.
OUR MISSION
To promote choice housing options and quality support services for adults with physical and developmental disabilities, designed to reduce isolation and develop necessary skills to live interdependently in a community setting.
Intentional Communities
An Intentional community is a planned residential community deigned from the start to have a high degree of social cohesion and teamwork. Members typically hold a common demographic and share responsibilities and resources. Our Intentional communities will have a Community Builder.
