Independent Living Housing Services

Our Housing Partner in San Jose, CA
Since 2016, Maria Jackson has been working alongside Shire House by providing independent living housing with light supports to young adults within the Asperger, HFA, and Neurodiverse community. The young adults living at our Housing Partners are already working full time. The need for Housing Partners arose when these out-of-state young adults were offered jobs in Silicon Valley.
