New Danville

For most Texans, living independently is second nature. For others the struggle to live independently and find a sense of community can be a difficult road to navigate.   The idea for New Danville originated with the mother of a young adult with an intellectual disability who had a strong desire to live independently. It was through this young man’s passion for a normal life that the concept for New Danville was born.

Situated on 42 peaceful, rolling acres in Willis, Texas, the community provides Day Habilitation, Residency, and Extended Activities programs. Instructors at New Danville teach adult education and training through a variety of activities that promote independence and productivity in life.   Together, these programs and opportunities enable the community to remain self-sustaining and gives them a place to call home.
