Noah's Nest is a three home enclave located in the center of Lakeland, Florida.  It was build using volunteers and donations from local businesses and service clubs.  The homes were build in partnership with the First United Methodist Church in Lakeland, the Polk County Builders Association and the construction technology classes in the Polk County Schools.

Noah's Nest is "home" to nine individuals with developmental disabilities who live independently.  Some of the residents have supports through the Medicaid Home and Community Based Waiver, while others have only family supports.

Four of the nine residents have successfully entered the "real world" after graduating from one of the five "College Transition Programs".
