Outreach & Engagement Programs and Scholars Database

The University of Connecticut A.J. Pappanikou Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research, and Service received funding from the Council on Developmental Disabilities to develop a 'one-stop shopping' resource for people with disabilities and their families/friends/significant others seeking available, affordable, and accessible housing. The primary outcome of this project is the H.O.M.E. Resource Guide and Training Manual.pdf available for download in loose-leaf format. Appendices and other easily updated materials can also be found on this website. The training modules contain a 'common core' of information for individuals with disabilities and their families, those who control the housing market, and those who assist people with disabilities in identifying their housing needs and locating suitable units. The curriculum also contains 'audience-specific information.' The goal of this project is to assure that every individual with developmental disabilities in CT 'regardless of the nature of the disability' has a place to live that s/he can call genuinely home.
