Fair
Housing For People With Disabilities . . . .
"To evaluate the state of housing for people
with diabilities in Georgia, Metro Fair Housing Services,
with the support of A. G. Spanos Companies and the National
Fair Housing Alliance, convened a panel of experts representing
a broad range of industries and backgrounds. The panel
looked at housing needs of the disabled, reviewed existing
research and explored best practices in Georgia and
other states. Using the elements of accessibility, affordability
and integration to analyze the level of housing provision,
the panel determined there is an insufficient supply
of housing that meets these criteria, and as a result,
many people with diabilities are living in inapproppriate
housing, institutions or on the streets!
The results and proposed solutions to the problem may
surprise you, as they are clearly attainable!!
**We encourage YOU to review this "White Paper"
and use the summary "Briefing" to help educate
EVERYONE, especially policymakers in local, state and
federal government, about this important issue!!
**Consider which recommendations YOU can help implement!!
**Take the recommendations developed here PERSONALLY
and then make them happen!!
Follow our progress on this website as all stakeholders
commit together to develop a system of accessible, affordable
and integrated housing for the the disabled."
