We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to a generous grant from the Dan Thompson Memorial Developmental Disabilities Community Account, we can now provide free Benefits and Housing Reviews to 6,688 families in Washington State.
Completing a Benefits and Housing Review will help these families explore housing possibilities and make a resilient plan for the future of their Loved Ones with IDD. The Review starts with an online questionnaire, where families and their Loved Ones clarify their housing vision and articulate what will define "home." This person-centered approach helps them understand how to access all the benefits their Loved One is eligible for, including that all-important Section 8 housing subsidy. These are all critical pieces of the puzzle for a resilient housing solution.
Eligible families will also have free access to our Roommate Matching Pool, to help them connect with other families and find compatible roommates for their Loved Ones.
To distribute these free Benefits and Housing Reviews, we are partnering with several nonprofits to help us reach as many families as possible in WA state:
- PEACE
- Arc of Washington
- Arc of Whatcom County
- Arc of Snohomish County
- Arc of King County
- PC2 (Pierce County Coalition for Developmental Disabilities)
We are so excited and honored to launch this project and help so many families, both now and in the future.
Get started today! If you have a Loved One with IDD who is 16 or older and lives in Washington State, claim your free Benefits and Housing Review now!
