A path to independent living.

A world where every young adult with disabilities lives their best life.

Our story

For many adults with disabilities, a suitable home is hard – sometimes almost impossible to come by. Hundreds of thousands of adults with disabilities across the U.S. sit on housing “wait lists” for home and community-based services. Even if they’re ready to make the move out of their parent’s home into community or independent living, the housing options and funding supports often don’t exist. Some don’t even receive the adequate services they need within their family home. As their needs change due to age and circumstance, some wait on corresponding changes to their services or type of residence.

For someone with a disability, the 21st birthday is often bittersweet. While education of individuals with disabilities is guaranteed through mandates like the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, support and services, including housing, are not guaranteed in adulthood. Once individuals with disabilities turn 21, they exit the public education system and enter the challenging and underfunded world of adult services. The support they receive depends on funds available, their determined level of need, and the programs and services in their region. Even families who start planning for this transition long before the 21st year find themselves without placement options on that bittersweet birthday.

Luminary Landing is a Cleveland based 501c3 that will provide affordable housing with options to meet basic daily living and independent living needs for adults (ages 21-59) with physical, intellectual and/or developmental disabilities requiring Intermediate Level of Care (ILOC).

Our mission is to create a place where members feel at home, safe, and loved as they are assisted in meeting their unique needs on a path to independent living.
