This is a workgroup hosted by Orchids FASD Services of WI and Statewide Independent Living Council of Alaska for the purposes of finding, supporting, and sharing information about accessible housing options and related supports for adults with FASD.  We will identify and discuss the issues and barriers people with FASD face as well as the supports needed for obtaining and maintaining suitable, stable, and affordable housing. We will focus on developing concrete solutions to these problems.

Individuals who have experience searching for, finding, or creating housing opportunities for special needs adults are welcome to join the group and should consider themselves professionals on this subject. FASD caregivers, self-advocates, residential staff, housing specialists, and housing rights advocates may be particularly interested in joining.

The kick-off meeting for this SIG will take place on September 12, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time (3:00 p.m. Eastern Time or 11 a.m. Alaska Time).  Please save the date and come join us for this inaugural event as we work together to share experiences about what works (and what doesn’t) AND create solutions.
