When Denise Resnik looked for a place where her autistic son Matt could live on his own as an adult, it didn’t exist. So she built it.

First Place Phoenix is an apartment building in midtown Phoenix for adults with autism and other neurodiversities. Residents have their own one- or two-bedroom apartment, with their own kitchen and their own front door.

The support comes with the lease: a team for life skills, jobs, health and wellness, and daily community activities. There’s a 24/7 concierge, a zen room, an art studio, and a teaching kitchen. The building was designed with sensory needs in mind.

It isn’t a group home. It’s a place to live independently without having to do everything alone.

The honest part is the cost. Rent starts at $4,600 a month, including utilities and the support team. That is out of reach for most families, and it’s why so many people are pushing for models like this to be funded and copied in more cities.

Would something like this work for someone you love?
