HOPE NC has just released (November 2023) its survey of self-advocates and caregivers on the subject of housing. It’s not designed to be perfectly representative but gives you a great idea about what folks want and where they currently live. No surprise–a huge proportion are still living in the family home.

The Forsyth County Commissioners recently funded a study of I/DD housing needs. A landing page with the 4 studies that were created can be found at the following link: https://www.ptrc.org/ForsythIDD. The “Final Report” is still being reviewed by stakeholders and is more of a call to action than a study on building an inclusive housing community.
