Webinar, March 28th, 2023, with the Autism Alliance of Metrowest. The Autism Housing Pathway’s “Housing 101” introduces families to the range of public funds available to pay for housing and supportive services – including for those without DDS supports.
* Some examples are given of how these can be combined with private funds to create housing.
* Living with a relative in the country? Living with friends in the city?
* What is your dream for them? A safe place? Living with a sibling? A long term option?
* This workshop is for those families beginning the process. Topics include:
- public funds available to pay for housing
- level of support needed
- living skills development
- assessment of personal resources
- housing models
- person-centered planning
- state care support options (including non-DDS)
* The discussions will cover the crucial process of combining available public funds with realistic family assets to create the best potential for housing options.
* Although this is a basic workshop, it highlights all of the important steps to any plan in process, and will be useful even for those already on the Section 8 waiting list.
* You may attend the workshop without scheduling an individual consultation.
* Speaker Catherine Boyle, president of Autism Housing Pathways, will be the presenter.
* Parents, individuals with special housing needs, and professional can attend this workshop to help answer questions about a loved one’s home of the future, long-term living options and more.
