Despite the autumn nip there was a buzz of excitement in the air on Saturday as locals gathered for a harvest fair and press conference to announce the start of construction at the Big Wave campus, where a new $37 million housing project is set to redefine the living experience for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the Bay Area. This moment marks the culmination of 24 years of hard work, dedication and the steadfast belief that adults with IDD deserve more than just a place to live — they deserve a vibrant community where they can thrive.
