Community leaders gathered in San Bruno to celebrate the opening of Huntington House, a cooperative living home for six adults with developmental disabilities.

The house, purchased by the Peninsula Health Care District, will be managed by AbilityPath Housing to help residents maintain their independence and dignity in a collaborative and supportive environment.

“This house provides the one thing that matters most, autonomy and independence,” AbilityPath Housing CEO Bryan Neider said. “Research tells us that when adults with disabilities have keys to their own front doors, self-esteem rises and anxiety drops. This home is a place where they will build a community, support one another and live life on their own terms.”
