People with disabilities should be able to choose where they live. Portland’s housing shortage, however, makes this hard to do. Most people with disabilities who want to rent an apartment face long waiting lists. If they have mobility needs, the wait is even longer.
On April 10, Community Vision hosted an event on the housing crisis and advocating for more affordable, accessible housing for people with disabilities.
Community Vision participated in a City of Portland project that has developed strategies for creating age-friendly and disability-inclusive urban neighborhoods.
