A place to belong.
ADAPT believes that everyone deserves a place they can truly call home.
A home that reflects who they are, who they are becoming and grows with them over time, situated in real communities that foster connection, inclusion and a genuine sense of belonging.
A better model for inclusive housing
We have developed a new housing model designed to address the challenges faced by people with intellectual disabilities who live in homes that don’t meet their needs and are often isolated from their communities.
Our Inclusive Living concept is a model that brings independence, connection, and support together. It creates communities where people with intellectual disabilities can live ordinary lives, in everyday communities.
Our goal is for Inclusive Living to become the standard for creating homes for people with intellectual disability.
Design that works
for everyone
We’ve spoken with people with intellectual disabilities around Aotearoa New Zealand about their living situations. What we’ve heard is that they want living environments that create autonomy, inclusion and belonging in a community.
We created the Inclusive Living concept for people like Melissa and others who want to have choices about the way they live.
Work with us
We partner with government, community housing and disability support organisations, developers and builders, and investors to build universal design homes and inclusive communities in Aotearoa and internationally.
Be part of building a future where everyone has a place to belong.
