We’re so glad you found us!
Local Tenacity is more than a website, it’s a growing, community-powered initiative built by and for special needs families, autistic and neurodivergent adults, caregivers, professionals, and allies. Our mission is simple:
To make support, resources, and opportunity accessible to every special need family and individual, starting in North Carolina and growing nationwide.
What You’ll Find Here
- A Trusted Directory:
We’re building a statewide (and soon, nationwide) directory of vetted special needs resources, providers, and community supports. - The Shutdown Survival Series:
50 state-specific guides with plain-language links for food, housing, disability supports, crisis lines, and more. - Volunteer & Inclusive Hiring Opportunities:
Real roles for every ability—including ones designed for autistic and disabled adults, caregivers, and veterans. - A Welcoming Community:
Share your story, connect with others, and help shape what we build next.
Why “Community. Support. Inclusion.”?
Because every journey is unique, but none of us should have to walk it alone.
We believe that when families, self-advocates, and allies come together, we can create real, lasting change—one state, one resource, one idea at a time.
