Build the Village with Us
Thriving communities require a true village. Today, we face a critical national shortage of inclusive housing options capable of supporting modern, diverse populations. We invite forward-thinking businesses, healthcare providers, non-profits, and civic leaders to join us in changing the following statistics:
The Growing Demand: An estimated 1 in 5 individuals in the United States is considered neurodivergent—encompassing ADHD, dyslexia, autism, and sensory processing differences. Driven by rising awareness and a generational shift, the demand for neuro-inclusive housing is projected to increase by 30% by 2030.
The Development Gap: Despite this massive market demand, fewer than 1% of residential real estate developers intentionally focus on building in-home supported, neuro-inclusive neighborhoods.
The Housing & Isolation Crisis: Over 87% of neurodivergent adults still live with aging family members due to a lack of options. Locally and nationally, only 7% have access to the independent home supports they need, leaving nearly 48% to experience chronic loneliness.
Universal Design: Better for Everyone
Neuro-inclusive neighborhoods are not just specialized environments—they are better neighborhoods for all. By using universal design principles (such as acoustic soundproofing, intuitive layouts, and pedestrian-first green spaces), we create calmer, safer, and more predictable environments that reduce daily stress for both neurodivergent and neurotypical residents.
When we design a neighborhood that honors neurodiversity, we build a warmer, more connected community where young professionals, families, and independent adults live and interact naturally.
By integrating your local services or aligning organizational resources with the Porches framework, your team plays a direct, measurable role in driving local economic equity, true social inclusion, and lifelong independence.
