AJE understand the importance of independence especially when it come to deciding where to live. Which is why were are pleased to share this information from The Administration for Community Living. The Administration for Community Living was created around the fundamental principle that older adults and people of all ages with disabilities should be able to live where they choose, with the people they choose, and with the ability to participate fully in their communities.

The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is hosting a three-part series on community-based housing options for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD).

The webinars explore barriers people with I/DD face in securing housing, highlight the limited range of housing options, and feature innovative strategies, resources, partners, and funding streams to help create more housing options for people with I/DD.

Join us on Thursday, May 11 at 4 p.m. ET for the second webinar in the series, which will provide an overview of:

• Federal programs that advance community living for people with I/DD.
• How one State has responded and made good use of these options.
• A self-advocate’s story on successful housing options.
