Inclusive Housing Coalition

The Inclusive Housing Coalition seeks to address the looming housing crisis for over 127,000 individuals who are living with Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) in Colorado. We provide connection to information, as well as convening and training opportunities, to bridge the knowledge gaps that exist in improving Colorado’s affordable housing landscape. WE BELIEVE - Affordable housing assistance is necessary for people with an I/DD and prevents unnecessary homelessness, displacement, or forced placement into more restrictive or costly settings. - Data specific to all individuals with an I/DD will drive incentives and policy solutions ensuring access to safe and preferred homes and services. - People with an I/DD will have a variety of equitable, affordable housing options best meeting their needs and preferences. - Every person with an I/DD will have lifetime access to the long term support services in the service delivery model of their choice in order to reach their full potential. - Local planning departments and local housing authorities will proactively address the unique housing crisis of people with an I/DD. - Individuals with an I/DD and their families need better support to understand and secure residential options.
