Help us plan an inclusive residential village

We are starting to plan a place where Heroes can live together, with the support they need. Before we go any further, we want to hear from you.

The survey is for Heroes, families, caregivers and group homes. It takes about five minutes, and your answers shape what we build.

In Their Words

A community that feels like family

I love Xceptional Heroes! I like bowling and going to the monthly socials because I get to see my friends and dance. I also like going to Tigers games and Flint Firebirds games. I have fun, make friends, and have something fun to look forward to.
