Glade Run Lutheran Services opens Jeremiah Village complex
Glade Run Lutheran Services dedicated its new Jeremiah Village complex on Monday night with a ceremony.
Jeremiah Village, currently in its first phase, consists of eight cottage-style homes along with an apartment-style building that will be open to people with autism, along with other members of the community. Described as a “welcoming community,” the complex was intended to create a “village-style” housing complex for a wide range of people as opposed to a group-home model.
“This village isn't just for people on the spectrum or people with disabilities,” said Dr. Kathleen Strickland, chair of the Glade Run Board of Directors. “It's inclusive in a lot of ways, including income and background. There are all kinds of ways that people are being invited into this community that we didn't even hope for.”
