High Spirit East is well on their way to building a community for those with intellectual and physical disabilities. This population includes those that have complex medical challenges such as cerebral palsy, downs syndrome, traumatic brain injury, and mobility challenges. Because this population is more physically vulnerable, our community is, unfortunately, not a good fit for those with behavioral challenges.

Join us and get to know their Board members, learn more about their vision, process, and see if it is a project that might fit your needs in the future.

This is a session to learn more about how the group started and answer questions on how replicate.

High Spirit recognizes the essential need of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to have a dignified home, meaningful work, and a rich social and cultural life. We do this through:

Shared Living at High Spirit Community Farm- Supports residential life in which an adult with disabilities lives as a household member in a family home with care, responsibilities, and lifelong relationships

Integrated Work-Life at High Spirit Community Farm-Provides a flexible day program meeting the needs and interests of each individual.

High Spirit Advisory-Serves as a catalyst, making this model of care and community more widely available.  Advises others seeking to create new communities based on the High Spirit model.
