What We Do

There is a predictable reason Neurodivergent adults are overrepresented in homelessness at 6 to 18 times their share of the general population. The systems designed to house people were not designed with Neurodivergent people at the table. NeuroHomes corrects that systemic design failure.

We are building clustered small-unit housing communities on rural land in the Columbia River Corridor, the region connecting Cathlamet, Washington, and Astoria, Oregon. Each site includes:

Housing 400–600 sq ft private units with individual outdoor space. Sensory-informed design: acoustic treatment, reduced visual clutter, adjustable lighting, clear wayfinding. Flat $300/month rent with no income verification, no bureaucratic complexity, compatible with SSI and SSDI.

Agriculture Working subsistence agriculture is the backbone of every NeuroHomes site, not a program add-on. Vegetable cultivation, small animal husbandry, food preservation, and beekeeping. Meaningful, predictable, sensory-compatible daily activity that reduces food costs and generates community income through CSA subscriptions (Community Supported Agriculture model, where consumers purchase “shares” of a season’s harvest in advance) and the NeuroHoney product line.

Governance Resident Councils hold real decision-making authority over community rules, shared space, agricultural priorities, and staffing recommendations, governing their communities and participating civically.

Peer-Led Services Navigation support for benefits, healthcare, and government systems. Compensated peer support network. Weekly community planning with rotating facilitation. Connection to workforce development and creative economy for residents who want it. NeuroHomes is not a clinical facility; residents are tenants with full tenancy rights.

Each site also includes a community lending library stocked with books, videos, and games, seasonal community-building activities throughout the year, and annual retreats for Neurodivergent adults with opportunities for peer networking, belonging, and building lasting friendships within a community of people who understand your experience.

Supportive Services

We provide residents with social interaction, household activities, skill development, guidance, and support in a serene rural and agricultural setting. A therapist will be on site five days a week for individual and group therapy sessions. A live-in residential manager trained in interpersonal communication and human behavior management will also be on site and on call.

Skills gained by hands on learning methods include social safety, independence, network building, who and how to trust, organization, time management, interdependence within a community, making and keeping friends, mindfulness, recognizing and coping with stress, identifying and expressing emotions, casual conversations, recognizing and interpreting social cues, dating and relationships, levels and aspects of a friendship, social expectations, active listening skills, conflict resolution, and problem solving. All of these will be achieved through interdependent living, group activities, shared responsibilities, and community-building exercises. These will result in increased confidence and self-esteem, and an overall higher quality of life for all of the neurodivergent residents here at NeuroHomes.
