Equal Choice, Housing for persons with disabilities
- Priced Out in 1998 http://www.c-c-d.org/priced_out_in_1998.htm
People with disabilities face an affordable housing crisis.
…In every state and major housing market area people with disabilities receiving SSI benefits were "priced out" of the market-unable to afford a modest efficiency or one bedroom apartment.
|
Housing for persons with disabilities touches almost every family and many local agencies. You can be a part of planning the strategy of Equal Choice, Housing for persons with disabilities. The planning meeting will concentrate on the goals of EC and how to meet them. In Memphis, a person with a disability must spend 91 percent of his or her SSI monthly income to rent a modest one-bedroom apartment priced at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Fair Market Rent.
