Housing Solutions for People with Developmental Disabilities: A Success Story
In 2019, The NYS Council on Developmental Disabilities (CDD) partnered with the NY Alliance for Inclusion and Innovation (NY Alliance) on a housing grant call "Statewide and Regional Housing Collaboratives." Through this 5-year project, the NY Alliance had conversations around New York State on how to better support people with developmental disabilities in finding housing of their choosing. This is a success story from that grant.
