Description

Access to quality housing options in communities of their choosing is a fundamental need for people with disabilities to be fully included in their communities. Housing is a vital component of a person's membership in their community. Using current American Community Survey (ACS) data this presentation will explore the complex relationships between poverty, housing access, and disability status at the state and county level.
