First of its Kind Community Focuses on IDD

Daymark Living will feature private homes for those with intellectual and developmental delays.

WAXAHACHIE, TX—With specialized care housing at a premium, North Texas became a first in more than one respect. A new neighborhood here was conceived, designed and built for people with intellectual and developmental delays (IDD).

The Daymark Living community, in collaboration with Aspen Heights Partners and Montgomery Street Partners, broke ground this week. Daymark Living will feature private homes along with shared spaces, which will be used to help residents connect, facilitate friendships and learn independence in a supportive, comfortable and supervised environment. Responding to a growing need in the community, Daymark already has 2,000 people on its interest list and 20% of the spaces have been reserved.
