Programs and Outings

Population Served
The Eva Sophia Project is more than a nonprofit; it is a movement to redefine what adulthood can look like for individuals with developmental disabilities. Eva Sophia Project serves adults ages 18 and older who have an intellectual or developmental disability. The expectation is a range of abilities, support needs, and mobilities.
The Lakehouse
Community Center
The Lakehouse Community Center is the heart of the mission - as a lasting place of belonging for individuals and peace of mind for families. The Lakehouse will serve as a venue for programs, classes, events, communal dining, and social gatherings for members of the greater community, particularly other nonprofits, agencies, advocacy groups, and schools that serve and support adults with DD and their families. It also will serve as a base for Eva Sophia Project programs and outings and for the community residents in the future.
Residential Community
Future plans include thoughtfully designed housing options. The vision is a residential community of standalone market-rate for-sale cottages with multiple bedroom options, oriented facing into a central greenspace. It will be a community designed around people, not cars, that encourages social interaction, friendship, exercise and wellbeing. Families and adults with DD who own 2- or 3-bedroom homes may choose to rent spare bedrooms to roommates they choose. The plan also includes some rental units above The Lakehouse Community Center.
