Eight years ago, around a kitchen table, a group of families realized they shared a common fear: "What's going to happen to my child when I am no longer around to care them?" This fear turned into a shared dream — a dream of creating Exceptional Housing for Exceptional People. Casa Familia is developing the first-of-its-kind enriched affordable housing community for adults with IDD and other related disabilities in South Florida. Through generous support and guidance from public and private partnerships, Casa Familia is creating a multi-phase affordable residential community designed to serve the needs of a broad spectrum of individuals with IDD and other related disabilities. Phase I will consist of 50 spacious one- and two-bedroom apartments that can accommodate approximately 60 adults, and an 11,000 square foot state-of-the-art community center. In addition, there will be robust activities and services tailored for them. We believe that Casa Familia is more than just a physical community; it is a village; a village of people who share a belief that adults with intellectual, developmental, and other related disabilities deserve to have an affordable choice in where they live. If you shares this belief, welcome to our Familia!
