About Us

Willow Commons addresses the acute housing shortage for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism. We believe every individual deserves access to high-quality supported living options that benefit residents and the wider community.

An Intentional Community

Traditional small-scale housing faces two critical challenges. Isolated group homes struggle with operational inefficiencies—staffing gaps, duplicated resources, and unsustainable costs. Meanwhile, individuals in separate apartments or small homes often experience profound isolation and limited opportunities for meaningful connection.

Willow Commons solves both. By bringing multiple residences together in one thoughtfully designed community, we achieve operational sustainability while fostering natural social connections through shared spaces—all while honoring each resident's independence and privacy.

Our location in Portola Valley's commercial corridor offers genuine benefits to residents, who can walk to local businesses, services and employment opportunities, and to the business who benefit from regular customers and a local, loyal employee base.
