Sweetwater Spectrum

Sweetwater Spectrum was founded as a nonprofit organization to provide an innovative housing model for the rapidly growing population of young adults on the autism spectrum. Our mission is “to provide adults with autism or similar intellectual / developmental disabilities innovative, community-based, long-term housing that offers individual choice and challenges each individual to reach his or her highest potential.”

Sweetwater Spectrum’s campus is located in the city of Sonoma and opened in 2013. The site includes four 4-bedroom homes for 16 residents, a large community room, exercise studio, media room, and a library. In 2022, Sweetwater will be building an additional residence on campus, which will expand capacity to 20.
