Navigating housing assistance for our loved ones with IDD can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone! Whether you’re just starting or in the thick of it, here are a few simple steps to help you apply for the support your family needs: 👉🏾 Start with Research: Look into local and national programs that offer housing assistance for IDD adults. Every community has different resources, so find out what’s available near you. 👉🏾 Get Organized: Gather important documents like medical records, income info, and your loved one’s care plan. Having everything in one place will make the process smoother. 👉🏾 Reach Out for Help: You don’t have to do it alone! Connect with local advocacy groups or case managers who can guide you through the application process. 👉🏾 Stay Patient, Stay Positive: The process can take time, but keep pushing forward! Your advocacy matters, and every step brings you closer to securing the right home for your loved one. Remember, it’s about finding a safe and supportive environment where your loved one can truly thrive. Have you been through this process?
