Living where you choose and with whom you choose is a basic human right, yet policies and practices are still in place that prevent people with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities from living in their own home. Secure, Safe, and stable housing is vital to helping all people thrive no matter their circumstances. By looking at the intersections of Housing, Disability, and the Medicaid Waiver System we can promote awareness and education ultimately expanding choice and control in housing for all people with Intellectual Disabilities.
We will be using the information gathered from this survey to build content for our program “Housing Myth Busting”. The program’s goal is to provide accurate information that shows people with disabilities and their families that there are viable options which provide choice and control outside of residential settings. This is part of a Grant made possible by the PADDC Council
