Integrative Supported Housing
The Ford on Main in Oneonta, NY, features 24 apartments, including four units reserved for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). Among its residents is Rachel, a fiery young woman with a quirky sense of humor. Rachel’s apartment is a direct reflection of her spirited personality. The walls are adorned with photographs of family and pets, original paintings, and movie posters. Each piece tells a story, from the doll her mother made for her to the favorite chair she brought from her childhood home.
Previously living in Stamford, Rachel saw the opportunity to reside in Oneonta as an exciting new adventure. She grew up near Oneonta and was excited to experience living downtown. Now, everything she needs to live independently is within walking distance. Rachel walks down Main Street for doctor’s appointments, a quick lunch, and regular nail visits.
The Ford on Main is more than just an apartment building; it’s a community hub and a cornerstone of Oneonta’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative. Its shared living spaces foster a sense of connection among residents, and Rachel thrives in this environment. “It’s fun to share with everyone,” Rachel said. “I even met some new people while handing out cookies.” When Rachel’s neighbor was sick, she brought her soup and helped take her dog out, showcasing her caring, community-oriented nature.
Relate to Rachel’s story? Independent living may be the best fit for you!
Community Homes
Community Homes resident Brian is all too familiar with transitions, adjustments, and the search for the sense of belonging we all hope for. Brian was born in Sidney, New York, in 1965. When he was young, Brian’s disability was misunderstood, and he struggled to find advocacy as he moved from place to place.
There seemed to be little hope of his ever being able to call Sidney “home” again—that is, until he joined the Springbrook family in 2013. He was part of a group of adults who came to live at Bird Avenue. Within a few months, he was making healthier life choices and forming positive relationships not only with housemates and staff but also with his family.
Since his move to Springbrook, he has been surrounded by a team of professionals dedicated to maintaining a safe, accommodating environment where he can feel good about the choices he makes for himself.

Supported Apartments
Commonspace offers a truly unique environment located in downtown Syracuse. These certified apartments combine independence with structure, providing around 20 hours of weekly support to help residents build life skills and confidence.
Residents Matthew and Dan, members of the Commonspace community, are settling into their new apartment to improve their independent living skills. For Matthew and Dan, living together offers benefits, as the roommates have a lot in common, from their interest in sports to their love of video games.
“It’s been great living on my own and being more responsible,” says Matthew. The roommates are looking forward to making new friends and one day having apartments of their own.
If making new friends like Dan and Matthew interests you, Commonspace may be the best fit.
