Living Unified began with families who love someone with special needs — and who couldn't find a place for that person to live a full life once they could no longer provide care themselves.
Most housing options for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities are designed around a single service — a group home, a day program, a waitlist for a waitlist. Families are left stitching together care across a dozen providers, with no guarantee that any of it will still be there in ten or twenty years.
Living Unified takes a different approach. Instead of one service, we're building one integrated community — housing, healthcare, employment, recreation, and faith, all under a shared commitment to every resident for life.
At LIVING UNIFIED, every resident is encouraged to live with dignity, independence, safety, and purpose — while receiving the level of support they need to thrive physically, emotionally, socially, spiritually, and vocationally.
That means private bedrooms instead of institutional wards. Real jobs instead of idle time. A chapel instead of a checkbox for "spiritual services." A community built around the whole person, not just their diagnosis.
"We're not building housing. We're building a place where our residents can live, work, worship, and belong — for as long as they live."
Unlike many programs that end at a certain age, Living Unified is designed to be home for life.
Care that treats independence and choice as the goal, not a risk to be managed.
Vocational training and employment built into daily life, not offered as an afterthought.
A community grounded in faith and open to all, where friendship and belonging are part of the design.
Living Unified is being built for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities — and for the parents, siblings, and caregivers who need to know there's a good answer to "what happens next."
We're currently in our founding phase: finalizing plans, securing land, and building the partnerships and funding that will let us break ground.
