The Imagine Different Coalition, formed in May of 2014, is a group of parents, advocates, citizens, allies, and other professionals from across the state that has come together because of a common concern about the number of children with disabilities growing up in congregate care. The Coalition agreed to work towards a Commonwealth that proudly assures that each and every child living here grows up in a family home where they are loved and nurtured.
Families take many forms: two parents, step parented households, foster, adoptive, multigenerational, shared parenting, and life-sharing to name a few. Learn MOre about the many paths to family life→
