Maya is 27. She bags groceries, rides the bus, and lives with her aging mother. There is almost nowhere for her to go.
She is not one person. She is 11,462.

Meet Maya. She deserves a home of her own.
Maya is 27. She has autism and works three days a week at a local grocery store — employee of the month, twice. She loves her coworkers, her routine, and her independence. She also lives at home with her parents, because there is nowhere else for her to go.
Her family has been on Pennsylvania's Medicaid waiver waitlist for six years. There are 11,462 people ahead of her. Your gift helps change that.

The Need
Why Your Support Matters
There is a profound shortage of quality, neuroinclusive housing for adults with I/DDs in the United States. Most existing options are institutional group homes that prioritize compliance over community, or isolated rental units that leave residents without meaningful social connection or any path to ownership.
Front Porch Cohousing is building a different model — one that treats adults with I/DD as full community members deserving of real homes, genuine friendships, and lives of meaning and purpose.
Our Capital Campaign
Hilltown Oaks is fully structured for development — builder partnerships and a proven funding model are in place. This campaign expands our capital base to accelerate the timeline, complete land acquisition, and fund construction of Pennsylvania's first Neuroinclusive Planned Community.
The Gap We're Closing
Pennsylvania Made a Promise.
It Hasn't Been Kept.
Pennsylvania's Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) waiver was designed to fund community-based living for adults with I/DD. But waivers fund support services — not housing. There is no state program that builds the homes. That gap is structural, and it will not close on its own.
Front Porch Cohousing builds the homes. We pair them with portable waiver-funded support services so residents can live with independence and dignity — without depending on a system that was never designed to house them.
Your gift doesn't fill a gap. It closes one.

The Long Game
Your Investment Builds
More Than One Community
Hilltown Oaks is the proof of concept. But the PORCH℠ Framework — our proprietary five-principle model for Neuroinclusive Planned Communities — is designed to scale far beyond Bucks County.
PORCH℠ is currently in trademark registration as a proprietary service mark. Once proven at Hilltown Oaks, it will be licensed to developers, housing authorities, and mission-aligned organizations across Pennsylvania and beyond — creating a replicable national standard for neuroinclusive home ownership.
Critically, licensing revenue from the PORCH℠ Framework flows directly back into the mission: offsetting the cost of home ownership for I/DD adults in every community built on the model. Your founding investment today creates a self-sustaining engine that makes ownership more accessible with every community we license.
“Building the infrastructure for the next generation of neuroinclusive living — and making ownership more accessible with every community we license.”

Why This Matters
The Unfinished Promise
In 1978, Pennsylvania's landmark Halderman v. Pennhurst case established a constitutional right to community-based care. The state closed its institutions. The community infrastructure to replace them was never built. 11,462 Pennsylvanians are still waiting. Your investment in Hilltown Oaks is part of keeping that promise.
