Help us build housing
where everyone belongs.

NeuroHomes is a neurodivergent-led nonprofit developing affordable, community-integrated housing for autistic and neurodivergent adults in rural Washington. We are early-stage and volunteer-powered. Your skills can change lives.

1 in 36 Americans is autistic, most without adequate housing options. Millions more are still undiagnosed and unaware.

Rural Wahkiakum & Clatsop Counties are our first focus communities

2026 Active capital campaign launching this year

We need people who give a damn.

We are building something that does not yet exist in rural Washington: housing developed by neurodivergent people, for neurodivergent people, with on-site support integrated into the community rather than imposed on it. Every volunteer role below directly advances that mission.
