Independent Living Housing is changing the way metro Detroit views the learning disabled population and how the students view the world. We have created a program for students ages 3 to 26 with learning disabilities that runs during and after school. The classrooms offer courses in English, math, science, sewing, social science, writing, conflict resolution, arts, leadership development and urban gardening. Our goal is to address poverty inside and outside. This project also provides a residence for these individuals and their families as well as group therapy and two daily meals.
