Innovative housing for adults with autism opening in Sonoma

For adults with autism, a residential choice where they have a sense of community and belonging as well as opportunities for individual development and independence is typically not available. In 2009, a group of families, looking to the future for their children with autism, came together and founded Sweetwater Spectrum. This group collaborated with professionals and community leaders to meet an extraordinary need: appropriate, high-quality housing for adults with autism in a community setting.

You can find out about this private nonprofit project, which is breaking ground in the town of Sonoma, on Wednesday, February 8, at an open meeting at the Sonoma Community Center. Deirdre Sheerin, Sweetwater's CEO/Executive Director, and members of Sweetwater's board of directors will be in attendance to update everyone on the project's progress and answer any questions.
