Founding sponsor commitment over 4 years

Most things you fund disappear when the grant runs out.

This doesn’t. A neuroinclusive community where adults with autism own their homes — not rent them, not cycle through group homes — own them. With your name engraved in the walkway that leads to their front door.

You made an incredibly difficult decision easy. A no-brainer. Your name on that stone says so — forever.

10 spots. One is still yours.
01
Permanent.

Your name is engraved in the Founding Sponsors Walkway — the paver path that leads directly to the front door of every coliving residence at Hilltown Oaks. Not a plaque in a lobby. The ground they walk on every day.

02
Scalable.

Hilltown Oaks is the first PORCH℠ community. Every future community we build replicates this model. Your founding commitment seeds a movement — not a single project.

03
Monumental.

Pennsylvania has never had a neuroinclusive planned community where adults with I/DD own their homes. You will have been one of the ten people who made it possible. That is a legacy.

Our Mission

To develop and sustain Neuroinclusive Planned Communities where adults with I/DD own their homes, build equity, and live as full members of a caring neighborhood.

Our Vision

A Pennsylvania where every adult with I/DD has the opportunity to own a home in a community that knows their name — not a bed in an institution.

01 — The Problem

The Caregiver Cliff is already here.

Across Pennsylvania, 130,000 adults with autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) are living with aging parents who are their primary caregivers. When those parents can no longer provide care — through illness, death, or simple exhaustion — there is no plan.

The state's group home system has a waiting list that stretches years. Institutional care is expensive, isolating, and antithetical to the dignity these individuals deserve — and the clock is ticking: by 2030, this crisis will reach a breaking point.

This is the Caregiver Cliff — the moment when a family's love and sacrifice runs out of road. It is not a distant policy problem. It is happening in your employees' families and your neighbors' homes right now.

There are 700,000+ adults with I/DD on waiting lists for residential services nationwide — with an average wait of 6 to 10 years. In Pennsylvania alone, 80% live with aging family caregivers with no backup plan. Only 2% live in consumer-controlled or ownership settings. Front Porch Cohousing is building what no one else is: a community where adults with I/DD don't just live — they own their home, build equity, and belong.

"What happens to my child when I'm gone?" Every parent of a child with I/DD lives with this question. We are building the answer.

families on our interest list — waiting for a Front Porch home

Meet Greg.

Greg is 34 years old. He has Down syndrome. He loves cooking, Philadelphia Eagles football, and making people laugh. He has lived his entire life with his parents, Carol and Joe, in their home in Montgomery County.

Carol is 67. Joe is 71. They are healthy — for now. But they lie awake at night asking the question that haunts every parent in their position: What happens to Greg when we're gone?

The group home they toured had 8 residents, two staff members per shift, and a waiting list of 4 years. The assisted living facility they visited cost $8,000 a month and felt like a hospital. Neither felt like a home. Neither felt like Greg's life.

Then Carol found Front Porch Cohousing. She found a model where Greg could own a home — a real home — in a community of neighbors who know his name. Where he could walk to a shared garden, attend community dinners, and have the support he needs embedded in the fabric of daily life, not delivered by strangers on a schedule.

Greg is one of 270+ families already in the Front Porch pipeline. Every one of them is waiting for a Founding Sponsor to make their community possible.

03 — The Solution

Why the Front Porch model works.

We didn't invent neuroinclusive living — we perfected it for the neurodivergent community. The PORCH℠ Framework is our proprietary model: five interlocking principles built on a simple truth that neighbors caring for and about each other creates communities where adults with I/DD don't just survive, they flourish.

Unlike group homes, which are institutional by design, or assisted living, which is medical by default, Front Porch communities are residential by intention.

Owned, not rented
Residents build real equity. No institutional landlord, no lease, no uncertainty.
Community-designed, not assigned
Neighbors choose each other through a structured matching process — creating genuine belonging from day one.
PORCH℠-powered
The only I/DD housing model built around a proprietary five-principle neuroinclusive framework — replicable, scalable, and purpose-built to scale.

The result is a model projected to cost significantly less than institutional care — often 30% or more — while delivering dramatically better quality of life outcomes. With 270+ families already in our pipeline, the demand is clear. The model is designed to scale.

P
Place

Purpose-built, accessible homes designed for adults with I/DD — not retrofitted institutions, but real neighborhoods where people belong.

O
Ownership

Residents and families hold equity stakes, building wealth and permanence rather than cycling through group homes and waiting lists.

R
Relationships

Intentional community design fosters genuine friendships between neurodiverse and neurotypical neighbors — the social fabric that sustains wellbeing.

C
Care

Residents connect with the best licensed support providers in the area — self-directed care that reduces costs while increasing quality and personal choice.

H
Health

Holistic wellness programming — physical, mental, and social — integrated into daily community life, not siloed in clinical settings.

Short-Term Outcome — 5 Years

8 adults with I/DD will own equity in their Hilltown Oaks coliving home — no longer dependent on family for housing — with two additional Front Porch communities in development. Hilltown Oaks is a 7-parcel Neuroinclusive Planned Community: 5 market-rate homes and 2 coliving residences, each home shared by 4 neurodivergent adults.

Long-Term Outcome — 10 Years

Front Porch Cohousing will operate 5+ communities across Pennsylvania, housing 100+ adults with I/DD in homes they own — supported by a replicable PORCH℠ model other states can adopt.

Hilltown Oaks Neuroinclusive Planned Community
Our First Community — In Development

Hilltown Oaks: Pennsylvania’s First Neuroinclusive Planned Community

Hilltown Oaks is Front Porch Cohousing's first community — a planned 7-home neuro-inclusive neighborhood in Hilltown Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

The site is identified. The design is complete. The families are ready. What remains is the capital to break ground — and the Founding Sponsors who will make it possible.

Hilltown Oaks is designed to fully embody the PORCH℠ Framework — Place, Ownership, Relationships, Care, and Health — serving as the living proof of concept for every Front Porch community that follows. The two larger in-flight projects coming behind it, with double & triple the capacity, will carry the same framework forward. The model is purpose-built to scale: once proven in Bucks County, Front Porch intends to replicate it across the Philadelphia region and into new markets throughout the Mid-Atlantic.

Technology Partnership

The Official Technology Partner of Hilltown Oaks.

Pennsylvania's first neuroinclusive planned community is also an opportunity to demonstrate what technology can do when it is deployed in service of human dignity. We are seeking a visionary company to become the Official Technology Partner of Hilltown Oaks — contributing products, services, and infrastructure that directly improve the daily lives of neurodivergent adults who own their homes here.

The Technology Partnership is a products and services donation — not a cash commitment. Your company contributes technology that serves the community, and receives permanent recognition as a Founding Technology Partner at Hilltown Oaks.

Technology Categories We Are Seeking

We are in active conversations with technology companies across four categories. Is your company a fit?

⚡
Clean Energy
Solar Generation + Home Battery + EV Charging

An integrated clean energy ecosystem — solar generation, home battery storage, and EV charging infrastructure — would make Hilltown Oaks one of the most energy-resilient neuroinclusive communities in the country, reducing costs for residents and demonstrating sustainable community design.

🌐
Connectivity
High-Speed Reliable Internet for Every Residence

🤖
Assistive Technology

Why This Partnership Is Different

Most corporate technology partnerships are transactional — a logo on a website in exchange for a donation. The Hilltown Oaks Technology Partnership is a living demonstration: your products deployed in a real community, serving real people, generating real outcomes data.

For companies developing assistive technology, smart home systems, or clean energy solutions, Hilltown Oaks represents a unique opportunity: a purpose-built, consent-forward deployment environment where your technology directly improves the independence and quality of life of adults with IDDs.

The story writes itself — and we will help you tell it.
