Villages of South Florida Autism
We are working with the Villages of South Florida Autism organization to help build housing for adults with Autism.
The Villages of South Florida Autism believes that individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) should have the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential and to live as independently and productively as possible. We are devoted to creating safe and appropriate housing for this population in an environment that is socially and emotionally fulfilling, utilizing science-based methodologies.
Our plan is to identify a property where we can build a residential campus which will address the needs of this population through residential housing and recreational activities outreach programs.
Residential buildings would include two-story buildings with dorm style apartments for individuals who require close monitoring, as well as cottages on the property for participants who can live independently.
The following amenities would be included in the campus:
1. Business Center - business opportunity space
2. Gym - workout room, possible indoor pool
3. Laundry Room - tenants will do their own laundry here
4. Market / Commissary - small general store to buy snacks, toiletries, etc.; commissary where tenants will be served meals, or prepare their own meals
5. Recreational Room - entertainment, movies, TV, games, barber / hair salon station
6. Clinic - nurse station and therapy rooms
7. Administrative Building - administrative / enrollment
