ABODE OF LIBERATION

Description

Abode of Liberation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit boarding house based in Front Royal, Virginia, offering a warm, inclusive, and family-style living environment for adults with intellectual disabilities. Founded to challenge the limitations of traditional group homes, our model empowers residents through consumer-directed care, supported independence, and meaningful community integration. Our home is also a sanctuary for rescued animals: cats, dogs, and even mini pigs, who provide companionship and therapeutic value to our residents. We offer daily support services, community volunteering opportunities (like Special Olympics and animal transport missions), and a strong sense of belonging that traditional institutional models often lack. Since our founding, we’ve grown entirely through grassroots support, volunteerism, and small grants. Now, as we prepare for expanded partnerships and site visits from major funders, we’re building out our board to reflect the same professionalism and heart that fuels our mission.
