Main Street Connect

Main Street Connect, Inc. (Main Street), a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, has developed a innovative, multi-purpose model – an affordable, accessible and inclusive apartment complex and community center just steps from a subway stop and adjacent to the town center in Rockville, Maryland. We are a 70-unit affordable apartment building in which 75% of the units are affordable and 25% are set aside for adults with special needs. At the front of the building, the beautiful Soulfull Cafe provides employment to people of all abilities and a beautiful gathering space for all. We are also a membership-based community offering 15 social, educational, cultural and wellness programs each week in our vibrant 10,000 sq. ft. community space. Our programs are open to all, including residents and non-residents who join as members. Main Street is a movement of inclusion in Maryland and beyond. We educate and advocate for communities for everyone – where people of all abilities find a sense of belonging. Main Street is changing lives and changing minds through inclusion.

Volunteers embrace Main Street’s movement of inclusion by supporting programs in a variety of ways. Program volunteers actively engage with members of all abilities and participate in all program activities. They help members build connections with other members and ensure that everyone feels included. Program volunteers also support Main Street staff with program execution, including tasks like set up, small group activity facilitation, and clean up. We welcome all to be a part of our vibrant, inclusive and growing community.
