Independent Living

 

At BrickWays, we provide individuals with IDD disabilities with an opportunity to engage in inclusive community programs. This empowers our residents to flourish as essential members of our community.

The profound impact of our services is felt through the joy of engaging with horses at Peace Ranch, participating in activities and trips once deemed impossible, and ultimately discovering a place to call home.
