Abstract

The need for supportive housing is growing as people with disabilities seek less restrictive housing options and those who care for them search for long-term solutions. Supportive housing includes housing in a variety of styles that is affordable to people with disabilities but is also connected to services that allow personal independence. Persons with disabilities are seeking community-based residential living arrangements within their abilities and means due to changing attitudes, funding, and legal requirements. As aging parents realize that their disabled adult children will outlive them, they are searching for new models but there is a lack of understanding of supportive housing options. A comprehensive framework is needed to evaluate models by looking at housing and services as separate but interrelated issues. This article explores the need for supportive housing for people with disabilities, offers a framework for evaluating supportive housing options, and provides two case studies of innovative person-centered models for people with developmental disabilities.
