Casa Familia Young Professionals Board Member Matt Casa Familia Young Professionals Board Member Matthew Guerra, owner of Unleashed Potential, and Casa Familia Potential Resident Michael, asked strangers one simple question: What should someone be most excited about when living on their own for the first time?

Why? Because soon, the Village of Casa Familia — the first-of-its-kind enriched, affordable housing community for adults with Intellectual, Developmental, and Other Related Disabilities — will open its doors, giving our residents the chance to live independently for the very first time.
