Thanks for the replies, just the sort of information I'm looking for. (And Jane has pretty much hit the nail right on the head. We simply want to help our son out a bit until he gets settled on his own.)

More replies welcome...keep 'em coming.

Anyone could have an adut child in need and I woud expect that those who wanted to help their adult chidren by having them come stay with them would be accepted. No young adult will most likely end up making The Villages their long term residence, but parents have obligations to children when they have need and I would welcome my neighbors chidren with open arms, they will all be 19 or over and I am sure will be delightful additions to the neighborhood for the time they need to be there. How the young person adjusts, socializes, adapts, and finds fulfillment is another question.
