Creating Amazing Futures
WeBUILT Wilkes offers something fundamentally different from traditional housing options—a model that honors independence without sacrificing support, provides privacy without isolation, and creates community without forced conformity.
WeBUILT believes:
- Individuals with disabilities should have the opportunity to live in community settings that reflect community values and standards.
- Being predictable does not mean things are always the same.
- Unique sensory-pleasing features and soundproof walls allow a peaceful living experience offering a level of contentment unmatched in other housing opportunities.
- In supporting individuals to achieve the highest level of independence possible, building a healthy lifestyle, providing professional skills and supports, fostering friendship and community, encouraging new experiences through recreation and leisure activities.
- In supporting individuals with resident controlled non-profit managed intentional predictable communities.
- Individuals who have been uncomfortable or less than optimally successful in conventional housing options available to them find joy, confidence and contentment living in their own home in a more relaxing and supportive environment.
More Than Just A Home: Intentionally created for successful community living
WeBUILT Wilkes residents aren't passive recipients of services. They're active community members who work, volunteer, and contribute meaningfully.
"I think people can support this project by doing the research and figuring out how they could provide jobs for people and give them a purpose outside of just living in a house."
— Trevor
"I think a lot of times in their life they've been told they can't do something and I think this is kind of giving them the opportunity to say I can do this."
— Tabitha Hudler
When adults with disabilities are given the right environment and genuine opportunities, they consistently exceed expectations.
"When placed in the right opportunity some of their abilities come out more. Some of their skills come out more."
— Eric Clement
That's what life at WeBUILT Wilkes offers. Your own space. Real friends. A community where you belong.
