The Brunette – The Power of Unique Housing

Optional Title

The Brunette Condominiums are located on the historic Lawton Loop Parade Grounds at Fort Harrison in Lawrence Indiana

The Brunette offers studio, 1- and 2-bedroom condominiums  (34 units) for permanent housing for adults with IDD. Apartment living is expensive, and neighbors are not consistent sources of support and do not often provide opportunities for social inclusion and community integration. 

Residents are empowered to build skills, solve problems, and take calculated risks to maximize their personal growth in a safe and supportive environment. This inclusive approach fosters a sense of autonomy, pride, and meaningful life experiences.
