Celebrating 25 Years of Better Housing Choices! The Olmstead Decision’s impact on housing: * Live Where You Want: People with disabilities can choose to live in the communities instead of institutions. * Help at Home: Support services come to you, making it easier to live independently. * Fair Treatment: Olmstead and the ADA limit discrimination. They help  create communities where people with disabilities can live next to their friends and families without disabilities. We’ve made progress, but people with disabilities can still end up living in institutions. The main reason is because there are more supports available in institutions even though it is less costly to offer these services in the community.  Let's keep working for a more inclusive future where people can access the supports they need in their homes!

As Black disabled people, sometimes the disability part of our identity is minimized. Of course, at some point there needs to be a conversation with the rest of our larger community about the fact that our value is the same as everyone else’s. In the meantime, we have each other. - Tinu Abayomi Paul What are your needs and the needs of your people? How can you strengthen trust and transparency within your mutual aid network?

We’re excited to share the launch of a pilot project in six pioneering synagogues. It’s part of a partnership between Gesher School and the The United Synagogue designed to make Jewish communities more accessible for children and adults with additional needs. Each synagogue has been equipped with a toolkit to foster inclusivity, which includes various tools such as : 💫Neurodiversity Awareness Posters to inform and educate the community. 💫A Guide to Inclusive Prayer Services, designed to make religious services accessible for all. 💫Social Stories for festivals and Shabbat, helping individuals prepare for services. 💫A Sensory Toys Guide for recommending resources to support neurodiverse children. 💫50 Inclusive Resource Booklets created by Gesher to promote accessibility and engagement with the festivals. 💫A Community Inclusion Officer Poster outlining key roles and resources. Many Jewish communities, like much of society, have not fully considered how to make services, events, and communication accessible to neurodiverse members or those with additional needs. This project will help them address: 👉 Feelings of isolation: experienced by families and individuals who may not feel welcomed. 👉Lack of awareness: leading to misunderstandings or discomfort in communal settings. 👉Disengagement from religious and social life: causing a loss of connection with Judaism and community. Results and findings from the project will be used to roll this out to the wider community.
