Get to Know Main Street

Main Street’s mission is to create dynamic opportunities through affordable, inclusive housing and community engagement so people of all abilities can live their best lives.

WHAT IS MAIN STREET?

With the opening of our flagship building in Rockville, Maryland, in the summer of 2020, Main Street will offer a unique model of affordable, inclusive community living and engagement for residents and for non-resident members of all abilities.

WHY IS MAIN STREET NEEDED?

Adults with disabilities have very limited options to live independently and participate in community life, which leads to isolation, loneliness, stress on aging parents and communities robbed of the contributions of all of their citizens. Main Street offers a solution.

HOW ARE WE DOING THIS?

Main Street has taken an innovative approach to building both an apartment complex and a community of people that offer those of all abilities a place to belong and to thrive. We aim to spread this approach in Maryland and across the country.
