Special Friends Foundation
In May of 1997, Special Friends Foundation purchased its first home and set up a family home environment for adults with intellectual disabilities. We purchased our second house in June 2003 and developed a group home for men and a group home for women. The Vaughan home (3700 sq. ft. license #374600641) is on a 1.25 acre lot directly adjacent to 55 acres of dedicated open space. It has a ranch style layout boasting 8 bedrooms, 5 baths and an expansive living area. The Sagewood Home (3500 Sq ft. license #374601939) is on a half acre lot in the beautiful Green Valley area of North Poway. It too is a one-story home with 8 bedrooms, 5 baths and a built-in fenced swimming pool. Both homes area ideally located two blocks from the bus stop. Our house parents are dedicated professionals, providing a true family environment that nurtures independence.
