Autumn Greetings!
It has been a challenging, but exciting year, and Cape Cod Village has accomplished many milestones! We are well on our way to building an innovative housing community for adults with autism and sincerely thank those who have joined us in helping to make this dream a reality.
As Robert Frost wrote, "We have miles to go before we sleep," as there is plenty of work ahead before we open our doors. We hope you will take every opportunity to tell your family, friends and neighbors about Cape Cod Village and encourage them to visit our website to see how they can become involved.
Bob Jones,
Co-founder, President
Our Mission: To meet the ongoing residential
and community living needs of adults on the autism spectrum.
