Colorado Intentional Communities Research Project

Your Voices Heard!

 

In previous research, people with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD) expressed the desire to live in a neuro-inclusive planned or intentional community. We are thrilled to announce that the data gathering phase is now complete! Thank you to all the self-advocates and family member participants across the state who shared their invaluable insights on these critical topics:

 

  • Why adults with I/DD and their families desire intentional communities as a housing option

  • What fears do people have about intentional communities

  • What policy or regulations can be used to protect intentional communities from becoming institutional in nature​

The research phase is now complete and we are finalizing the report. Findings will include insights from Colorado stakeholders, statewide data, and policy recommendations to guide the future of neuro-inclusive, affordable intentional communities.

​

Stay tuned for the full report release!
