Autism Housing Pathways

📣 Registration is now open for the Youth Visions of Community (VOC) Conference!



This in-person event is for young people with disabilities (ages 14–26) and their caregivers to connect, explore future goals, and learn about resources like housing options, goal setting, self-advocacy, and community supports.

🗓 Saturday, March 21
⏰ 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
📍 Schrafft’s Center, Charlestown, MA



There will be two programs happening at the same time—one for youth and one for caregivers. (This is not a drop-off event; caregivers must attend if the youth is not their own guardian.)



$25 registration for caregivers (youth attend free). Scholarships are available – we don’t want cost to be a barrier.

We are pleased to share an important update about the future of Autism Housing Pathways.

After thoughtful planning and collaboration, Autism Housing Pathways will officially merge with The Federation for Children with Special Needs, effective 1/1/2026. This merger brings together two organizations with a shared commitment to supporting individuals with disabilities and their families across the lifespan.

By joining The Federation for Children with Special Needs, Autism Housing Pathways will be able to strengthen and expand its housing-focused advocacy and support, while benefiting from the Federation’s long-standing leadership, infrastructure, and statewide reach. Most importantly, this partnership allows us to better support disabled adults and their families as they navigate housing options and long-term planning.

What this means for our community:

* Our mission and core values remain unchanged:

- Building the capacity of families to find or create housing solutions for their family members with disabilities;

- Building the capacity of individuals to maintain tenancy;

- Improving the professional development of direct support staff;

- Conducting research on the housing needs and resources of the Massachusetts autism community; and

- Building the capacity of the housing sector to meet the residential needs of individuals with autism.

* Programs and advocacy efforts will continue without interruption

* Families can expect greater coordination, sustainability, and impact

* Autism Housing Pathways’ work will move forward within the Federation’s trusted framework

Over the coming months, you may see updates to our communications and branding as we transition. We are committed to transparency and will continue to share information as this integration moves forward.

We are deeply grateful for your trust, collaboration, and support. This merger represents an exciting step forward in our ability to serve families today and into the future.
