In CT, I was told by a state manager that "We do a fair job of helping kids who want to live forever with their parents, but if your adult child wants to live outside that home we haven't quite figured out how to adequately support them or you." Dismal. I would love to think society cares about this, but I'm just not convinced. :(

So upsetting. This situation can’t go on this way.

We are at the 4 year mark of our "start-up" "Self-Directed Integrated Community” in NY State. Long way to go, but my son is very happy - https://outsidein51.substack.com/p/dustin-sweeneys-4-year-anniversary

Wow. That’s awesome, Mike. I live about 15 minutes away in Bergen County. I know young people who would like your program. Should I send them your way or are you full?

We only have one New Jersey family because the state systems do not work together. Thus, the NJ family is 100% private pay, so they are only part-time.

I am happy to host people via our Friday hike, which is 11 am from "The Meeting House" in Chestnut Ridge, NY.

They can reach out to me at mike@endeavor21.org
