A place to grow.
A place to belong.

Community & Belonging

"What happens to my child when I'm no longer here to care for them?"

The Need

It's the question that keeps parents and caregivers of special needs adults awake at night. Across Louisiana, families are aging alongside the adult children they've cared for their whole lives — and lifelong, dignified housing options are scarce.

Living Unified is being developed as one voluntary housing option with individualized supports. Residents may choose providers, jobs, recreation, worship and relationships on or off the property and may move or change providers at any time.

The Master Plan

A community within a community

Every building on this campus serves one goal: a resident's ability to live with independence, safety, and purpose — physically, emotionally, socially, spiritually, and vocationally.

Housing

Homes for every level of independence

Apartments and small homes with private living space, ordinary lease protections, lockable doors, compatible roommate choice when housing is shared, and individualized support that can follow residents as their needs change.

Health

Therapy & Medical Center

Optional on-site healthcare and therapy, plus support to use qualified providers throughout the surrounding community. Each resident chooses providers and services through a person-centered plan.

Work

Workshops & Vocational Center

Voluntary job training and life-skills coaching, appropriately paid work opportunities at Living Unified, and support for competitive integrated employment with businesses throughout the surrounding community. Housing and services will not depend on accepting work or training.

Spirit

Chapel & Counseling Center

Optional worship, spiritual support and faith-based counseling are available. Residents may worship elsewhere, practice another faith or decline religious activities without affecting housing, services or employment.

Play

Clubhouse & Recreation

A pool, hot tub, fitness center, game room, and theater, plus a sports complex with basketball, pickleball, and a softball field.

Grow

Farm & Animal Programs

Residents may choose recreational, educational or appropriately paid work in the greenhouses, gardens and farm programs. Participation is voluntary and is not a condition of housing or services.

Create

Arts, Music & Creative Center

An art studio, music and dance space, and crafts programs for creative expression and community events.

Connect

Transportation & Access

Reliable, accessible transportation supports resident-chosen trips to jobs, healthcare, shopping, recreation, relationships, worship and other destinations throughout the greater community.
