We're in the special needs community here in Seattle and I know of parents who are banding together to buy homes where their adult children with special kids will live togther in a kind of commune. That takes enormous privilege to do, of course, but it does point toward the need for community-funded housing, as you suggest.

Yes, there are a couple of new communities like that here in New Jersey, too. Parent-organized with a mixture of public and private funding.

I'm not quite sure where my son will end up, but for now, he's home with us.
