Overview: Aster Commons
Suburban Supportive Housing focused on Neurodivergent Young Adults.
The Essentials
- About 38 high-quality, well-managed apartments.
- Focused on young adults (ages 18-24) who are or have experienced homelessness.
- On-site support services will help autistic and other neurodivergent residents build community and work toward achieving their goals.
- Efficiency apartments will be affordable to fit budgets for young adults with low incomes.
- Onsite services will be provided by Fraser and Volunteers of America to help residents space to consider what the next step might look like for them.
- Our society has failed to make sufficient investments in deeply affordable homes that support neurodivergent people. This is especially true for low income BIPOC individuals. Aster Commons will help meet this critical need in our communities.
Supportive Housing
- Supportive Housing is a proven model for ending chronic homelessness and assisting people as they build strong foundations to move forward.
- Tailored services provided by on-site professional staff offer residents space to consider what the next step might look like for them.
To create these homes, we will need:
Congregation Members and Supporters to show up in support at key moments, make a gift to support the work needed before the shovel hits the ground, and spread the word about why you support Aster Commons. Attend a Beacon 101 to learn more about supportive housing and how it fits with
Beacon’s vision that ‘all people have a home’ by visiting beaconinterfaith.org/events. Public Officials to approve land use and zoning decisions, and champion and secure public funding for rental assistance, support services, and capital.
