Kansas IDD Housing Needs Survey: Residential Providers

InterHab is working to better understand the current and future housing needs of Kansans with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

We want to hear from organizations that provide residential services about current capacity, anticipated housing needs, and what may make it difficult to develop or maintain residential options.

Your responses will help identify housing and residential service needs across Kansas and opportunities to address barriers and expand housing options for people with IDD.

Please complete one survey per organization.
