Description
This presentation was developed in response to the housing crisis faced by many low-income and middle-income Americans, including persons with disabilities. Nearly 50% of Americans identify affordable housing as a major problem, a 10% increase from 2018 (pre-COVID). In this presentation, we first provide an overview of existing housing policies and programs. Second, we highlight the specific housing challenges of two low-income, immigrant families who have children with disabilities.Back to Session: Poster Symposium 1C - Employment, Housing and Transportation and Community Living and Supports
