ONLY WHEELCHAIR-ACCESSIBLE UNIT AVAILABLE — RARE OPENING IN SPECIALIZED HOUSING (ARLINGTON, MA)
This is a rare and time-sensitive opportunity to secure long-term, supported independent living in one of Massachusetts’ most trusted and established communities.
This is currently the only wheelchair-accessible unit available in the entire Specialized Housing portfolio that is currently available, and the only home equipped with a full wheelchair ramp.

A Proven Model — Over 40 Years of Stability
Specialized Housing, Inc. has been supporting adults with disabilities since 1983.
This is a highly regarded, time-tested model where residents often remain for 20–30 years, building a true sense of home, independence, and community.
Families consistently describe these residences as family-like environments, where individuals are supported not just professionally, but personally over the long term.

24/7 Full Staffing Model
Each home operates with a comprehensive staffing structure, including:
• Program manager (daily oversight)
• Live-in staff providing morning, evening, and overnight support
• Weekend staff continuity
• Clinical director oversight
This creates consistent, around-the-clock support, with a level of stability and continuity that is increasingly difficult to find.

Understanding the Financial Picture
There is a purchase price plus a monthly support fee.
However, this is where many families find significant relief:
The monthly support fees are often substantially offset or fully covered through:
• Housing vouchers (Section 8)
• SSI / SSDI
• Medicaid / MassHealth supports
• Other disability funding programs

What This Provides
This is not simply housing. It is a fully integrated living model that includes:
• Two daily meals with dinners served Family Style with the whole household
• Full staffing and supervision with home-like atmosphere
• Utilities, cable, and WiFi
• Maintenance and property care
• Clinical oversight and coordination
• Life skills support and community integration
For many families, this replaces the need to coordinate multiple services independently.

Why Families Choose This Model
Families are often comparing this to:
• Group homes with less stability or personalization
• Long waitlists for placements
• Independent living without adequate support
This model offers:
• Long-term housing stability
• A consistent and experienced care team
• A built-in peer community
• A structure that supports independence with dignity
Most importantly, it can provide peace of mind for decades—not short-term placement.

Unit Features
• First-floor accessible unit
• Wheelchair ramp (only one in the entire housing portfolio)
• Upgraded Private half bath with stability bars
• Approximately 140 sq ft
• Updated flooring
• Voice-controlled lighting
• Remote-controlled blinds
• Keypad entry
• Decorative fireplace

Location
Located in Arlington Center within the Boston metro area, in a walkable, community-oriented neighborhood with access to transportation, shops, and services.

Why This Opportunity Is Rare
Openings in Specialized Housing are extremely limited and often filled through internal networks or referrals.
A wheelchair-accessible unit within this model is exceptionally rare, and there is currently no comparable opportunity available.

Who Should Reach Out
• Families planning long-term housing for an adult child
• DDS coordinators and case managers
• Caregivers seeking a stable, supported independent living environment

Rare Wheelchair-Accessible Housing Opportunity – Arlington, MA

I’m sharing this because I know how hard it is to find safe, stable, long-term housing for an adult child with disabilities.

There is currently one wheelchair-accessible unit available in a highly respected Specialized Housing community in Arlington—and it’s the only one with a full ramp.

This program has been around for over 40 years, and many residents stay 20–30 years. It’s not a revolving-door placement—it’s a true home.
There is 24/7 staffing, a consistent care team, and a real sense of community. Families often describe it as family-like, not institutional.

The setup includes meals, support, utilities, and coordination of care—all in one place—so families aren’t left trying to piece everything together on their own.

There is a purchase price ($199,900) plus a monthly fee, but many families are able to offset costs through housing vouchers, SSI/SSDI, and Medicaid supports.

This kind of opening is extremely rare, especially for wheelchair accessibility.

If this could be a fit for your family or someone you know, feel free to message me. I’m happy to share more details and help you understand how it works.
