Unity Housing Initiative provides shared living spaces for individuals with extended needs—those who do not require a group home, but need more support than living alone. Our model offers stable, independent housing options that are flexible and inclusive, including space for live-in caregivers who work outside our organization.

We believe in building trust through visibility, transparency, and respect. The people we serve are active participants in our work—not just beneficiaries. Their voices shape our mission, and their needs guide our decisions. That commitment defines who we are and ensures that our housing isn’t just accessible—it’s truly supportive.

Unity is culturally grounded in the communities we serve. Our programs are shaped by ongoing dialogue with residents, families, and advocates—whether or not they are formally part of our housing. Many of our leaders, board members, and partners are parents, close friends, or family members of individuals with disabilities. They bring direct lived experience and long-standing advocacy to every aspect of what we do.

We primarily serve individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), physical disabilities, and those with limited income or support. We also welcome their neurotypical loved ones and others whose values align with our mission of safe, inclusive, and community-based housing.

To further our impact, we collaborate with other organizations that share our values, pooling resources and expertise to better serve those in need of safe, supportive housing.
