Did you know a NEW housing community for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities is being built in Washtenaw County?

Many Hands Lifesharing Community envisions adults with developmental disabilities, their families and caregivers living full, healthy and meaningful lives connected to others.

We are creating an amazing place to live and learn, regardless of ability!

A UNIQUE IMPACT ON OUR COMMUNITY:

In addition to providing residents and their caregivers with a wonderful place to live,
the larger disability community will be welcomed onto campus to help fill a large gap in need for on-going learning and leisure activities.

SOME OF THE PLANS AND PROGRESS YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT on JULY 10:

The 85 scenic acres under contract on Baker Road on the outskirts of Dexter, and An Angel donor has committed almost 2 million dollars to purchase the land!

• Plans underway for a fully accessible, sustainable community with family-style homes for residents and caregivers
• Quality of Life, Lifelong Learning and Community Connectedness...through walking trails, a craft house, gymnasium, performing arts center and a cafe (that will welcome the public!)
• The organic regenerative farm (with animals!) for meaningful resident activities, and engagement opportunities for the greater community
