We serve adults with developmental disabilities, their families, and the broader community. Our work is grounded in the belief that every person deserves meaningful relationships, opportunities to contribute, and a place to call home.
The Eva Sophia Project is a local nonprofit dedicated to creating a community where adults with developmental disabilities can live, work, play, and fully belong. Our mission unfolds in three intentional phases:
Programming – building meaningful, community‑based programs
Inclusive Community Center – establishing a shared hub for connection
Pocket Neighborhood – developing a small, intentional residential community
This phased approach ensures we meet real needs today while building long‑term solutions for tomorrow.
We prioritize programming first because adults with developmental disabilities need opportunities for connection, growth, and belonging now. A community center comes next, giving these programs a permanent home and expanding access. The pocket neighborhood is the long‑term vision — a sustainable, inclusive living environment that supports independence and lifelong community.
The Eva Sophia Project is a local nonprofit with a clear, three‑part mission designed to support adults with developmental disabilities in living full, connected, self‑directed lives.
1. Programming (our first priority) We begin by creating high‑quality, community‑based programming that supports social connection, life skills, recreation, and personal growth. These programs are the foundation of everything we do and allow adults with developmental disabilities to participate, contribute, and belong right now—right where they live.
2. Inclusive Community Center (our second priority) As programming grows, we will establish an Inclusive Community Center that serves as a shared home for activities, partnerships, and community life. This center will be a welcoming hub where people of all abilities gather to learn, work, play, and build relationships.
3. Pocket Neighborhood (our long‑term priority) Finally, we plan to develop a Pocket Neighborhood—a small, intentional community where adults with developmental disabilities can live, work, play, and fully belong. This neighborhood will offer independence with support, meaningful connection with neighbors, and a vibrant sense of home.
Together, these three steps create a pathway toward lifelong belonging, community integration, and opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities to thrive.
