In the Farmington Valley, a nonprofit organization aims to break down silos and build bridges in the community through apartment housing. This hour, we learn about form.html">Favarh and its unique initiative to build a more integrated living experience for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Plus, at Quinnipiac University, students can apply to live not in a dorm but with residents at a in-Residence-Program.aspx">Masonicare assisted living facility. We learn about the Students in Residence program, and we also hear from you.
