Every individual, regardless of ability, deserves the opportunity to live a life of purpose and joy.

At Harlan’s Place, our mission is to create a nurturing and empowering environment for adults with Down Syndrome. We are committed to providing not just housing, but a home—a place where individuals with Down Syndrome can thrive, lead fulfilling lives, and contribute meaningfully to their community.

Who We Are.

Welcome to Harlan’s Place, a 501(c)3 organization. Our story is one of love, hope, and dedication to creating a bright future for our beloved son, Harlan. Our journey began with a simple yet profound desire: to ensure that Harlan, who has Down Syndrome, can lead an independent life in an environment that mirrors the opportunities available to individuals without disabilities.

The Community.

Harlan's Place is not just a residence; it's a purposefully designed housing community located in the heart of the Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. Our community consists of 60 individual apartment units, each crafted to provide a warm and supportive environment for adults diagnosed with Down Syndrome, or developmental disabilities who do not require licensed care for physical or mental diagnoses.

"This is the best news ever! We moved our family from Ann Arbor Michigan 10 years ago. Our youngest daughter is almost 19 with Down syndrome. We assumed someday we would have to move from this area to find good independent housing for her. Now, your dream is our dream! Wow! What a blessing this is for us!"

Angela D.

Harlan’s Place seeks to be a beacon of hope and a catalyst for positive change in the lives of adults with Down Syndrome, their families, and the broader community.
