ONE gift,a lifetime investment

Our mission is to secure the financial future of Noah Homes and share our exceptional model of care globally.

In California alone, there are more than 350,000 people with developmental disabilities. Within this underserved population, people with Down syndrome are nearly 6 times more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than people who do not have Down syndrome.

At the same time, according to the County Welfare Directors Association of California and Regional Council of Homelessness, older adults are the fastest-growing segment of California's homeless population, with nearly half of unhoused older people experiencing their first episode of homelessness after age 50.

We need more housing and services for more people in more places, and we need it yesterday. You can help us achieve our dream by donating to our Foundation.
