Autism Housing Pathways, Inc. (April 6, 2023)

As part of the Medfield Housing Production Plan, the Medfield Affordable Housing Trust (“MAHT”) seeks to determine “an approach it may take to support the creation of supportive special needs congregate housing . . . for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (“IDD”) which the Town may do with local funding and technical support, and to consider possible public/private partnerships to foster creating such housing in Medfield.”

Autism Housing Pathways was charged with characterizing the population to be served via a survey and with elucidating a set of possible housing models via a series of focus groups with respondents who participated in the survey.
