Welcome to Vanguard Landing
Our new conceptual vision map. Courtesy of Carla Ryan at Thirteen Winks.
The Mission of Vanguard Landing is to offer a safe, intentional, interactive, and inclusive community where persons with intellectual and developmental differences can thrive and achieve their life’s full potential.
We believe that our friends and family members that may need a little support to live as independently as possible, have the right to choose where they live and work.
Vanguard Landing, an exciting new Intentional (planned) community, will be the FIRST of it’s kind and scope in the Commonwealth of Virginia. It is designed around the support needs of those with disabilities while living next to those without disabilities! (Neuro-Diverse)
We are proud to bring to life a progressive and forward-thinking option to complement other current choices for individuals with an intellectual or developmental disability and to help facilitate their choices in how they receive those supports.
Vanguard Landing’s Phase One has both five-bedroom, one-story cottages and one-bedroom, one-story townhomes. In addition, we will have numerous amenities and business enterprises to support our Mission!
This highly-requested model will help alleviate the severe shortage of employment and residential opportunities for this population.
Vanguard Landing is a proud member of the Together for Choice and Coalition for Community Choice national advocacy organizations.
