View Comments The Northville-based Living and Learning Enrichment Center is proving to be as resilient as the young adults with autism or related challenges that it has assisted since 2015. Through tireless fundraising efforts orchestrated by founder Rachelle Vartanian, the non-profit organization cleared the initial financial hurdles to purchase the 14-acre former Don Massey Estate in Novi — a move that was necessitated when it outgrew its former downtown Northville location. It has been slowed, but not stopped, by the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced Vartanian to cancel three pivotal live fundraising events, including a classic car show. The latest obstacle is a May 31 deadline to raise $150,000 that will allow contractors to make the estate compliant with Americans With Disabilities Act regulations and make the facility operational.
