Mission Statement
To provide families of special needs adults the support that they need to create a caring and supportive community home for their loved ones so that they can be confident that these individuals will be cared for as they grow as adults and after parents or guardians are no longer able to do so.
Description
A Home of My Own is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating homes for adults with special needs, giving them the opportunity to live safely, comfortably, and happily within the community. Residing with similar special needs adults, the homes provides each individual the ability to live with dignity in a home of their own for their lives.
For families with the responsibility and, often worry, of caring for a special needs adult, this may seem like a tall order. But it can work. A Home of My Own helps match parents and guardians of similar adult children with intellectual and developmental disabilities to find homes that they may live in and be cared for, for the rest of their lives.
