We are challenged to create housing opportunities that are truly individualized where the person experiencing a disability is the leaseholder or deed holder of their home. We only create real home enviorments when we provide choice and control in relation to housing options one person at a time. This workshop will provide and array of proven strategies and methods utilized for creating person-controlled community based rental housing and home ownership opportunities. Myself along with local advocates, Portland housing organizations and professionals will share their universal stories and expertise on how to help individuals create a place called home.
