Federal webinar of interest on 5/11: Improving living options for people with I/DD

5/9/2023

 
Integrated Housing Options for People with I/DDSecond webinar of a three-part series focused on improving community living options for people with I/DD

Thursday, May 11, 2023 | 4:00–5:30 PM ET

​Safe, accessible, and affordable integrated housing options for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) are extremely limited. As a result, almost 70% of adults with I/DD live with their families, and most who live outside the family home live in group settings.

To improve and expand community living options for people with I/DD, ACL is hosting a three-part webinar series that explores the housing needs of people with I/DD, barriers they face in securing housing (including limited inventory), and innovative strategies, resources, partners, and funding streams to help create more integrated housing options for people with I/DD. "Turning Resources into Action" is the second webinar in this series.

The series centers the perspectives and experiences of individuals with I/DD. It is intended for state and local disability, aging, health, and housing agencies; housing providers; disability and aging advocates; and researchers, as well as people with I/DD and their families. 
After registration, you will receive a confirmation email with information about joining the webinar. Everyone who registers by 12:00 PM ET on Wednesday, May 10, 2023, will receive the slides in advance. A recording of the webinar and the slides will be available on the Housing and Services Resource Center website later this month.

The webinar will include real-time captioning and ASL interpretation. For additional accommodations or questions, please contact Allison Cruz.
