Project Description


Melmark, a national leader in the human services field, is creating an innovative new adult services model. The project will address an ever-growing need in the state of Massachusetts for adult services that are evidence-based and instructional for individuals with autism, intellectual, and developmental disabilities. The three-acre site in Tewksbury, MA will include four residences housing a total of 20 adults, an instructional and vocational day program for 50+ individuals, a vocational coffee shop social enterprise, daily living activities, supports, community engagement, recreational opportunities, and affordable staff housing.

 

The pilot project, which will kick off with a groundbreaking in February 2025, will cost $15 million and take one year to complete. Melmark’s goal for adult services is to expand the continuum of care to include viable, cost-effective alternatives that enhance the current service choices. This model offers staffing efficiencies in light of the national human services workforce crisis and will provide comprehensive public policy guidelines that can be replicated by other human services providers.
