WNC Group Homes for Autistic Persons, Inc., known as WNC Group Homes, is a mental health care provider based in Asheville, North Carolina. It operates residential group homes that serve autistic individuals, providing community-based housing options for people with developmental disabilities in the region. The organization traces its origins to the mid-1970s, when a group of parents and professionals sought to plan for the needs of autistic children and adults in the area as families aged. At that time, residential services for individuals with complex needs were largely unavailable in community settings, and such services were primarily housed in state facilities like Western Carolina Center and Black Mountain Center. Today, the organization is a mid-sized operation in the mental health care field, employing hundreds of staff from its Asheville base to deliver its services.
