Henry House is: Dignity. Independence. Synergy Henry House is an innovative residential model now in the planning stages for people with and without physical disabilities. And it needs your energy. This vibrant, self-sustaining cooperative residence—proposed for the edge of Purdue's campus—will be designed for those with physical disabilities yet intellectual abilities. People with cognitive acumen and physical challenges are responsible for their own care in a home co-rented with the able bodied who provide support with simple tasks. Tenants without disabilities could be students studying in healthcare fields such as Health Sciences, Nursing, Pharmacy or Engineering Services. • Residents with physical challenges have private, accessible apartments. • Individual is responsible for primary care services—not tied to the residence. • Able-bodied residents rent private rooms on the second floor. • Commercial kitchen and common living areas foster community. • A cooperative housing model—all residents contribute to the daily operation. • A house manager resides on the premises.
