ACRC has been actively partnering with multi-family housing developers for several years. There are many upcoming housing projects that will include housing units for people served by ACRC. Most important is that this new housing should be affordable for people on extremely low incomes and accessible. There is a tremendous shortage of accessible housing, so this is exciting news.

There is a group of parents, advocates and organizations who are organizing to obtain housing options for people in the Alta California Regional Center catchment area. Details coming soon.

Take a look at this report done in Colorado regarding housing for people. Maybe California can work on doing a similar report. Bottom line is there is a tremendous need for more housing options people can afford and with supports, as necessary, to live a quality life.
