Get Involved

Housing for people with disabilities is a community issue, and solving it requires a community effort.

Whether you're a family member, a local business, a government official, or simply someone who believes in inclusion, there is a place for you in this work.

We need your help

Creating innovative housing solutions for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities isn't something one organization can do alone. It takes families, community members, professionals, businesses, governments, and organizations working together toward a common goal.

You don't have to be a parent or caregiver to care about this issue. You simply have to believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live in a safe, inclusive, affordable, and supportive home.

Whether you have time, expertise, resources, connections, or simply a passion for making a difference, there is a place for you in this work.

Here are some of the ways you can help.

Become a Community Partner

We believe that lasting solutions are built through collaboration.

If your organization shares our commitment to creating more inclusive communities, we'd love to explore how we can work together.

Community partners may include:

  • Disability service organizations

  • Housing providers

  • Municipal and government partners

  • Healthcare organizations

  • Educational institutions

  • Faith communities

  • Community agencies

  • Foundations and funders

  • Developers and builders

  • Businesses committed to social impact

By sharing knowledge, resources, expertise, and opportunities, we can accomplish more together than any one organization could alone.

Become a Community Supporter

Not everyone has time to volunteer—but everyone can help build momentum.

Community supporters help raise awareness and expand our reach by:

  • Sharing our stories and social media content

  • Introducing us to individuals or organizations who may support our mission

  • Connecting us with businesses, community leaders, funders, or decision-makers

  • Inviting us to speak at community events or meetings

  • Helping advocate for inclusive housing solutions within their own networks

Sometimes one conversation or one introduction can lead to transformative opportunities.

Donate

As a grassroots nonprofit, every dollar helps us build the foundation for long-term impact.

Financial contributions support organizational development, community engagement, advocacy, planning, partnership development, and future housing initiatives.

We are currently in the process of applying for registered charitable status. While we are able to accept donations now, we are not yet able to issue charitable tax receipts. We appreciate your understanding and your support during this important stage of our growth.
