Our mission:
To provide long term stability for adults with autism through subsidized residential housing that builds independent living skills via real world, experiential learning.
Our Story
Ben and his family started Benergy1 Presentations five years ago with one big goal, to help Ben achieve his dream of being a full time public advocate for autism. In that time, Ben has delivered his presentation more than 600 times to schools, professionals, and communities.
From the beginning, the long term vision has been bigger than speaking alone. Benergy1's plan is to use the awareness and momentum from Ben’s work to launch a project that helps adults like him live independently and have a place they can truly call their own. Ben’s brother Dan is especially passionate about creating peace of mind for families, knowing their loved ones are supported, safe, and living meaningful, self directed lives.
