Be one of ten.
The Founding Sponsors of Pennsylvania's 1st Neuroinclusive Planned Community are a cohort of ten business leaders — across Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and New York — whose names will be engraved in stone, between the homes of the neurodivergent adults they helped shelter, for generations.
One has already committed. Nine slots remain.
The Founding Sponsor Commitment
The Founding Sponsor program is built on the Satell Institute framework — the gold standard for CEO-led corporate philanthropy in the Philadelphia region. Your $100,000 commitment over four years funds Phase 1 of Pennsylvania's 1st Neuroinclusive Planned Community, secures your place in the Satell CEO peer network, and earns your name permanent engraved recognition on the paver path between the homes at Pennsylvania's first neuroinclusive planned community.
The Caregiver Cliff is already here.
Across Pennsylvania, 130,000 adults with autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) are living with aging parents who are their primary caregivers. When those parents can no longer provide care — through illness, death, or simple exhaustion — there is no plan.
The state's group home system has a waiting list that stretches years. Institutional care is expensive, isolating, and antithetical to the dignity these individuals deserve — and the clock is ticking: by 2030, this crisis will reach a breaking point.
This is the Caregiver Cliff — the moment when a family's love and sacrifice runs out of road. It is not a distant policy problem. It is happening in your employees' families and your neighbors' homes right now.
"What happens to my child when I'm gone?" Every parent of a child with I/DD lives with this question. We are building the answer.
— Nancy Carey, autism parent

The Caregiver Cliff is not a forecast. It is happening now, and it is steepening.

Meet Greg.
Greg is 34 years old. He has Down syndrome. He loves cooking, Philadelphia Eagles football, and making people laugh. He has lived his entire life with his parents, Carol and Joe, in their home in Montgomery County.
Carol is 67. Joe is 71. They are healthy — for now. But they lie awake at night asking the question that haunts every parent in their position: What happens to Greg when we're gone?
The group home they toured had 8 residents, two staff members per shift, and a waiting list of 4 years. The assisted living facility they visited cost $8,000 a month and felt like a hospital. Neither felt like a home. Neither felt like Greg's life.
Then Carol found Front Porch Cohousing. She found a model where Greg could own a home — a real home — in a community of neighbors who know his name. Where he could walk to a shared garden, attend community dinners, and have the support he needs embedded in the fabric of daily life, not delivered by strangers on a schedule.
Greg is one of 270+ families already in the Front Porch pipeline. Every one of them is waiting for a Founding Sponsor to make their community possible.
Why the Front Porch model works.
We didn't invent neuroinclusive living — we perfected it for the neurodivergent community. The PORCH℠ Framework is our proprietary model: five interlocking principles built on a simple truth that neighbors caring for and about each other creates communities where adults with I/DD don't just survive, they flourish.
Residents build real equity. No institutional landlord, no lease, no uncertainty.
Neighbors choose each other through a structured matching process — creating genuine belonging from day one.
The only I/DD housing model built around a proprietary five-principle neuroinclusive framework — replicable, scalable, and purpose-built to scale.
Purpose-built, accessible homes designed for adults with I/DD — not retrofitted institutions, but real neighborhoods where people belong.
Residents and families hold equity stakes, building wealth and permanence rather than cycling through group homes and waiting lists.
Intentional community design fosters genuine friendships between neurodiverse and neurotypical neighbors — the social fabric that sustains wellbeing.
Residents connect with the best licensed support providers in the area — self-directed care that reduces costs while increasing quality and personal choice.
Holistic wellness programming — physical, mental, and social — integrated into daily community life, not siloed in clinical settings.
8 adults with I/DD will own equity in their Pennsylvania's 1st Neuroinclusive Planned Community coliving home — no longer dependent on family for housing — with two additional Front Porch communities in development. Pennsylvania's 1st Neuroinclusive Planned Community is a 7-parcel Neuroinclusive Planned Community: 5 market-rate homes and 2 coliving residences, each home shared by 4 neurodivergent adults.
Front Porch Cohousing will operate 5+ communities across Pennsylvania, housing 100+ adults with I/DD in homes they own — supported by a replicable PORCH℠ model other states can adopt.
Pennsylvania's 1st Neuroinclusive Planned Community: Pennsylvania's First Neuroinclusive Planned Community
Pennsylvania's 1st Neuroinclusive Planned Community is Front Porch Cohousing's first community — a planned 7-home neuro-inclusive neighborhood in Hilltown Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
The site is identified. The design is complete. The families are ready. What remains is the capital to break ground — and the Founding Sponsors who will make it possible.
Pennsylvania's 1st Neuroinclusive Planned Community is designed to fully embody the PORCH℠ Framework — Place, Ownership, Relationships, Care, and Health — serving as the living proof of concept for every Front Porch community that follows.
The Satell Institute Framework
Why Front Porch Cohousing built the Founding Sponsor program on the Satell model.
The Satell Institute, based in the Philadelphia region, is the premier convener of CEO-led corporate philanthropy in the mid-Atlantic. Member CEOs make multi-year commitments to vetted nonprofit partners and gain access to a private peer network — invitation-only conferences, off-the-record strategic discussions, and a community of business leaders who believe deeply that corporate capital can solve community-scale problems.
Front Porch Cohousing became a Satell Institute member organization in February 2026. The Founding Sponsor program is built directly on the Satell model.
What Founding Sponsors Receive
$25,000/year × 4 years = $100,000 total commitment. Predictable for your giving committee, meaningful for FPC's capital plan.
Your name — or your company's — engraved in stone on the Founding Sponsors Walkway at Pennsylvania's 1st Neuroinclusive Planned Community. Not a plaque in a lobby. The ground residents walk on every day.
