Community Living
The mission of the Community Living Program is to improve housing options for persons with disabilities statewide through education and increased awareness. Training is available for housing professionals, realtors and housing counselors to assist them in working more effectively with persons with disabilities. Topics include the essential elements of accessibility, financial restrictions, the importance of support services, working with your financial institution and laws that serve to protect persons with disabilities in order to assist them in finding an appropriate home, whether it is a rental unit or purchased.
