by building neuro-inclusive cohousing communities that unite people with diverse intellectual abilities, empowering them to live independently.
Explore Our Values
Cohousing is community design that fosters connection. Physical spaces allow neighbors to easily interact with others just outside private homes. Common areas, including the kitchen, dining space and gardens bring people together.
Coliving vs Cohousing
Front Porch Cohousing is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that creates safe and sustainable housing opportunities for people with different intellectual abilities. We are dedicated to providing housing options for those who want to live in a neuro-inclusive environment. People who live in a neuro-inclusive cohousing community will benefit from innovative smart-home technologies that provide safety and security, social and recreational activities, including shared meals, opportunities for neighbor interaction, and inclusion based on proven universal design principles.
Live With Us
Inclusion, especially in housing, is a goal, not a given. It involves educating, campaigning, and raising awareness. It requires us to open our minds and learn from everyone's story. It begins with an openness to learn, an acceptance that we are all different, and a respect for everyone’s individuality. Inclusion is a significant aspect of life, and it is an issue that is growing in importance. People with limitations from autism or intellectual and developmental disabilities are often excluded from activities or events because they do not fit the 'norm' or because others don't understand them.
Community ImpactTogether, we are working to create, support, and provide neuro-inclusive cohousing communities for people with diverse intellectual abilities.
