Wellspring Housing
Mary Lou’s initial vision for Wellspring included a place where her daughter Emily and her friend could grow, learn, and live their lives in community through residential service offerings. Unity on Park is Wellspring’s first step in addressing this need and making Mary Lou’s vision become a reality.
There are currently 20,000 adults with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) in the state of Colorado who live with caregivers over the age of 60. There are limited housing options for these adults. We know that people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities have a right to live in accessible, affordable housing in their community.
The Mission of Wellspring Housing is to develop housing options for adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities to live in safe and accessible housing that supports their independence, well-being, and sense of community.
