Neuro-Inclusive Community Living Forum

August 20 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm AKDT

Discover A NEW VISION
FOR COMMUNITY LIVING
Join us for an in-person community forum
to discuss future housing needs and
neuro-inclusive community models for
people who experience intellectual and
developmental disabilities.
As more Alaskans who experience intellectual and
developmental disabilities reach adulthood—and families are
planning for the future—how can we ensure everyone has the
supports, opportunities, and sense of belonging they need at
every stage of life?
Hope Community Resources invites you to an in-person
community forum to explore future housing needs, intentional
communities, neuro-inclusive models, and a planned life
sharing community in the Mat-Su Valley called Ptarmigan
Commons*.
Whether you are a person who experiences a disability, a
family member, caregiver, provider, advocate, community
partner, or simply interested in learning more, we invite you to
be part of the conversation
DURING THIS FORUM, YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT:
What neuro-inclusive housing is
and why it matters.
Intentional communities and the
life-sharing model of the future.
Hope’s planned life-sharing
community in the Mat-Su Valley
called Ptarmigan Commons*.
How these models complement
existing disability services and
expand housing choices in Alaska.
Opportunities to ask questions,
share perspectives, and stay
involved as the project moves
forward.
*Ptarmigan Commons is envisioned as an intentional, life-sharing housing community in
the Mat-Su Valley where adults who experience intellectual and developmental
disabilities can lead full, meaningful lives while staying connected to the greater
community. Join us at the forum to learn more about this innovative housing model,
explore the vision for Ptarmigan Commons, and discover whether it may be a good fit for
you or your loved one.
