Creating inclusive communities where people of all abilities and ages experience a sense of belonging
COMMUNITY REIMAGINED
The majority of people with I/DD live with their families, leading to the question:
"What will happen to my loved one when I'm no longer here?"
Many older adults are lonely and suffer from social isolation. Inclusive housing can provide them a community to mitigate this issue.
The Need & Our Solution
The Need
Families of adult children with developmental disabilities often worry: who will provide care and support for their children once they are no longer able to do so? An increasing number of older adults also do not want to live in age-segregated housing, including conventional retirement communities.
Where can they live?
The Solution
HOPE believes that inclusion and social connection are fundamental to addressing the housing crisis facing people with disabilities and older adults. Creating communities where neighbors support one another and where there are integrated support systems allows for more effective connection.
