For Your Family
Your Neurodivergent Adult Child Deserves Their Own Forever Home
A Home That Grows Equity For Their Future
Front Porch Cohousing creates intentional communities where adults with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and other IDDs thrive with dignity, independence, and belonging.
We believe every adult deserves a home where they can flourish — and build real equity for their future. Our cohousing model combines the independence of individual living with the support and community of shared spaces, all designed with neurodiversity in mind.
Our Difference
Why Choose Front Porch?
Our cohousing model is built on principles of independence, community, and dignity. Here's what sets us apart.
True Independence
Individual apartments with personalized support, not congregate group homes. Your adult child maintains autonomy while receiving the help they need.
Real Community
Intentional cohousing design fosters genuine friendships, shared meals, and meaningful social connections with peers and neighbors.
Dignity & Choice
Residents make decisions about their lives, activities, and daily routines. We support their choices, not control them.
Safety & Compliance
Full compliance with ODP Guidelines. Transparent operations, regular assessments, and person-centered planning ensure quality care.
Skill Development
Individualized programming supports growth in daily living skills, employment, and community participation at each resident's pace.
Family Partnership
We work closely with families as partners in planning and decision-making. Your voice matters in your adult child's life.
Our Foundation
Our Core Principles
Everything we do is guided by these foundational values.
Person-Centered
Every decision starts with the individual — their preferences, strengths, goals, and dreams.
Neurodiversity-Affirming
We celebrate neurodiversity and design communities that work with different neurotypes, not against them.
Community-Based
Residents are part of the broader community, not isolated. We foster connections with neighbors and local resources.
Transparent & Accountable
Full compliance with all regulations and regular communication with families about operations and outcomes.
Sustainable
Designed for long-term viability so residents have stability and families have peace of mind.
