Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Just completed construction of FORWARD at the Rock, a supportive housing community in Dennis, MA.
FORWARD at the Rock is a brand new custom-built home for 8 adults with "Severe" Autism or related disabilities. Built on 4.5 acres of land, this one-story duplex is fully accessible for wheelchairs and other accommodation so the residents can age-in-place in these forever homes. Each side of the duplex will be staffed around-the-clock, and all units are designated as extremely affordable, with resident's income at less than 30% of the Area Median Income.
