Vision

We believe in a world in which adults with IDD have the human and civil rights to live, work, play, love, learn, and worship in the setting and manner of their choosing with the help of their families, friends, and caregivers.

Goals

1. 1.We develop innovative and affordable housing models for adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD) including for-sale housing that provides home ownership opportunities for adults with IDD. Home ownership means money spent on housing builds equity and provides a financial safety net for adults with IDD after their families are gone. It also gives long-term control and security.
2. 2.We develop educational, recreational, and social engagement programs and options for adults with IDD to foster lifelong learning and personal growth for adults with IDD with the broadest range of abilities and support needs. These programs and options end isolation and loneliness and build community amongst adults with IDD and outward to the greater community.
3. 3.We advocate at local, state, and federal levels for the human and civil rights of adults with IDD to live, work, play, love, learn, and worship in the setting and manner of their choosing. This includes their rights to choose where they live and the right to use Medicaid waiver funding to pay for the supports and services they need to live as independently as possible in their chosen setting.
