who is your dave?
Mental illness touches all of us, often in deeply personal ways. At Dave's House, our mission is rooted in the experiences of our own family of founders, leaders and supporters whose lives have been shaped by someone they love living with mental illness. This holiday season, we're sharing their powerful stories of love, heartbreak, resilience and hope—and inviting you to reflect on Who Is Your Dave?
Someone you love. Someone you remember. Someone you haven't met yet. Join us in honoring those who inspire our mission and helping open more doors for adults living with serious mental illness, make a gift this holiday season.

Dave’s House at Celery Community
At Dave’s House, we know that ending the housing crisis for adults with serious mental illness begins with a safe, permanent home. For more than 16 years, we’ve been creating lasting recovery and transforming lives through housing stability, community connection, and supportive partnerships. Now, we are taking a bold next step. We are incredibly excited to introduce Dave’s House at Celery Community, our first multi-unit residential community in Central Florida. Located in Seminole County, this innovative neighborhood will provide a welcoming, supportive home for up to 20 adults living with serious mental illness and co-occurring disabilities.
This project is made possible through powerful partnerships. Dave’s House has joined with Community Assisted & Supported Living (CASL) as co-developer and operational partner, and HomeAid Orlando as design and building partner. Together, we are combining statewide expertise, local leadership, and building industry talent to create a first-of-its-kind residential community.
