Our apartments are unfurnished and include:

• Stove and oven

Pets are welcome with a non-refundable deposit and monthly pet rent.

As a Live-In Volunteer, your involvement may include:

This program is ideal for individuals who are compassionate, reliable, and excited to be part of an inclusive community that celebrates independence, growth, and connection.
