The My Special Place board will share exciting updates on their mission to create local residential options for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. President Kristy Sullivan and other board members will present details about the property currently under consideration—its location, proposed housing models, and the types of support services being planned.

Whether you’re a parent, guardian, advocate, or self-advocate, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. Come learn how we can shape a more secure and supportive future—together.
