LAUREN’S WELCOME
I want to personally welcome you to Freedom Village, a wonderful expansion of the American Dream. I am a part of a team that you can join to give people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, such as Asperger’s and Down Syndrome, a chance to live independently in a safe connected community.
Freedom Village will have “state of the art” affordable condominium units we can own or rent and ….best of all, a social life with friends and fun things to do that goes way beyond the “9 to 5” world that so many of us are limited to now
There isn’t anything like Project Free today; if there were my Aunt Kim would have found it for me. Project Free is raising the bar and taking the lead in providing “Opportunity”. Opportunity for us to own our own condominium at half price because all the units will be identified as workforce housing by HUD. Opportunity to apply for financial aid because as a private “Trade School” we will qualify for tuition as well as receive a marketable certification, along with experiencing dorm living !! And ‘Opportunity” to choose employment and not be placed in meaningless jobs. I am psyched about earning minimum wage instead of working in a Training program that pays us pennies on a dollar.
