Welcome to the Saving Wrentham and Hogan Alliance

We’re a nonprofit committed to protecting the rights, dignity, and care of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Massachusetts. We protect the rights to choice of individuals with intellectual disabilities. As the state moves toward closing vital facilities like Wrentham and Hogan, we unite families, professionals, and allies to ensure no voice is left behind.

Through coalition-building, legislative advocacy, and hands-on support, we’re building a strong and compassionate network that champions respect, belonging, and continuity of care.

Why It Matters

These facilities are more than buildings—they are homes and communities where people have built relationships, routines, and lives. Preserving them isn’t enough. We’re calling for the reopening of admissions, restoring access and protecting the rights to choice of individuals with intellectual disabilities in Massachusetts. These vital facilities are for those who choose them and would thrive in these supportive environments. We want to ensure continuity of care for future generations.

We’re also working to revitalize the campus itself, removing condemned buildings and creating intergenerational housing options for elderly parents, so they can spend their final years beside their adult children.

The Bigger Picture

As privatized, community-based providers increasingly reject individuals with higher support requirements, our vision is clear: a safe, skilled, and welcoming model that serves both the unserved and the underserved.

Whether you’re a caregiver, advocate, policymaker, or concerned neighbor—there’s a place for you here.

Together, we’re saving more than institutions and the intermediate care facility level of care. We’re rebuilding home, renewing hope, and restoring dignity for those too often left behind.
