With your partnership, we will meet the needs of adults with an I/DD by transforming the possibilities of community for everyone.
Many adults with I/DD report an aching need for social support, educational opportunities, and job assistance. With limited opportunities for community integration due to lack of available resources — especially when transitioning out of school — adults with disabilities often experience emotionally devastating loneliness.
Did you know 70% of NC residents with an I/DD live in relative isolation?
And, that 80% of NC residents with an I/DD are unemployed?
The full vision for Peacehaven’s 89 acres includes a multi-purpose community center, residential housing, arts center, outdoor recreation spaces, multidisciplinary healthcare clinic for the I/DD population, and expanded farming operations. These will be created to serve and appeal to people of every ability while addressing the specific needs of adults with an I/DD.
Building on our strengths and increasing our ability to connect with more people of all abilities
Increasing full-time residency and staffing
Fully developing Peacehaven’s site capacity
The signature project of Phase I will be the Community Center scheduled to open in 2025.
This 20,000 square foot Community Center will be a hub of relationship-building, education, fun activities, employment, and job training — all achieved with a commitment to acceptance and integration. These will be created to serve and appeal to people of every ability while addressing the specific needs of adults with an I/DD.

The new Community Center will integrate our most essential and fundamental human interactions.
With positive momentum and recognition of rising need, Peacehaven announces Different Together. This comprehensive campaign seeks to raise $12.5M to build a multipurpose, uniquely accessible Community Center and supporting infrastructure and facilities.
This multi-purpose, uniquely-accessible center will be designed to create connections between people that don’t typically intersect, enabling learning and growth for people of all abilities.”

Our history has taught us an extraordinary lesson as we position for the future: the best way forward is together.
