Empowering Inclusive and Independent Lives.

Cohome was founded to provide adults with disabilities meaningful opportunities to fully engage with their communities and lead fulfilling lives. Our person-centered programs nurture self-advocacy, independence, and meaningful connections.

Core values

Inclusion, Community and Respect represent our highest priorities and fundamental driving forces. They’re what we stand for and are at the heart of everything we do.

Inclusion

We believe that everyone deserves to live in the least restrictive environment possible.
Community

We invest time, energy and resources into strengthening our relationships inside Cohome and in our community.
Respect

Cohome housemates commit to approach each other with respect and foster trust and connection.

Ours is a story of family

Nathaniel Diskint, inspired by his younger brother Jeremy who has Down Syndrome, sought to create a vibrant and inclusive housing program. In 2017, Nathaniel and the Diskint family founded Cohome, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization to advocate for inclusion through an innovative coliving model. Today, the Cohome brand has grown to include a private company creating independent living opportunities for adults with disabilities through value-add public and private partnerships as well as Journey Services, a disability supportive services provider agency. Our family has also grown to include many unique and wonderful residents, families, volunteers, employees, and supporters whose efforts make Cohome the joyous community it is today.
