WHAT IS PARENTS WITH A PLAN?
Every parent of a child with autism or an intellectual/developmental disability asks the same question: What happens when I'm no longer able to care for my child? Parents With A Plan exists to create, innovate and provide best in class supportive housing solutions.
Fulfilling A Need
Our goal is to build a model community for adults with autism and related developmental disabilities. Across the United States, 500,000 individuals with autism are aging into adulthood each year. Today, 1 in 59 children will be diagnosed with autism — in New Jersey, the CDC puts that rate at 1 in 34. Parents With A Plan is developing thought leadership and real solutions to address the housing and lifespan needs of this underserved population.
We are a 501(c)(3) organization of parents, families, and legal and housing professionals building private, best-practice housing solutions for special needs young adults. We believe every individual deserves a high quality of life, and that starts with a home of their own — one built around person-centered, supportive living.
We bring together like-minded industry leaders to solve the growing “post-21” housing shortage for neurodiverse adults, using private capital to create best-in-class communities layered with employment and community-based services.
“Our goal is to create best in class supportive communities for adults of varying abilities through private capital. This will allow us to develop housing commensurate with the quality of life deserved, layered with community-based employment and services. ”
