Homeless by Design: Why A Generation of Adults with Autism and Developmental Disabilities Faces Homelessness
Featuring: Jan Stokley, Executive Director, Housing Choices, San Jose, California
This webinar will review the demographic trends leading to a sharp increase in demand for supported housing for people with developmental disabilities, including autism, and federal and state policies that constrain supply. We will learn from an emerging body of national evidence on how people with developmental disabilities fare when they lose parental support and the unique barriers they face to obtaining appropriate housing. The workshop will discuss policy changes at the state and national level necessary to prevent homelessness among this population.
