In order for this to be possible, 29 Acres uses an evidence-based approach in housing design and individualized supports to ensure meaningful growth in employment, independence and wellness while developing community, fostering friendships and a deep sense of belonging. The 29 Acres housing development is a safe and dynamic supported living community where adults with Autism (ASD) and other neurodiversity will live and be supported, enabling them to build relationships, feel value, success and happiness in their lives. Enrichment Services provides year round support services and programming for individuals living with autism or neurodiversity.

    Our Transition Academy students recently rolled up their sleeves and tended to the 29 Acres garden, harvesting fresh produce that they used to create a delicious side dish! It was a wonderful hands-on experience, blending the skills of gardening and cooking. We're so proud of their hard work and the tasty results!
