Two Organizations. One Shared Vision.
Casa Familia and Sunrise Community have come together around a shared belief: every adult with with Intellectual, Developmental, and other related Disabilities deserves the opportunity to live in a safe, supportive environment that fosters independence, dignity, and belonging.
Sunrise Community brings decades of experience providing person-centered supports that help people receiving services live meaningful, engaged lives within their communities. Casa Familia brings a family-founded vision focused on developing inclusive, long-term housing solutions that offer stability, security, and peace of mind for people with IDD and their families.
Together, this partnership blends support services and housing innovation to create a community where individuals can thrive today and into the future.

Housing Innovation
About Casa Familia
Casa Familia was founded by families who recognized a critical gap in housing options for adults with with Intellectual, Developmental, and other related Disabilities. With many individuals outliving their caregivers, Casa Familia’s mission is to create affordable, enriched housing communities that provide long-term security, connection, and opportunity.
Casa Familia’s model emphasizes inclusive design, shared community spaces, and a supportive environment that encourages independence while fostering meaningful relationships among residents.
Why This Partnership Matters
Across communities, families face an urgent and deeply personal question: What will happen to my loved one when I can no longer provide housing and support?
Affordable, inclusive housing options for adults with with Intellectual, Developmental, and other related Disabilities are limited, and waiting lists continue to grow. Without intentional planning, individuals risk isolation or housing instability.
By combining Sunrise Community’s support expertise with Casa Familia’s housing vision, this initiative directly addresses that gap — offering a thoughtful, sustainable solution focused on long-term well-being and community connection.
