This housing
resource guide is designed to help people with developmental disabilities
and their families navigate the the housing
system and find housing that meets their needs and fulfills their
dreams. The
guide is divided into eight main chapters
and includes information on how to search for housing, rental options, home
ownership, group living, fair housing and many other resources.

For many years,
people with developmental and related disabilities were routinely placed in
large institutions. Often, they did not receive the support needed to
help them reach their potential.
In an effort to
provide an array of housing options as an alternative to large institutions, The
Arc of North Carolina developed 226 residences throughout the state, with
support services provided by local organizations to over 1300 individuals.
The Arc
continues to develop new and innovative housing options including
self-determined, self-controlled housing opportunities across the state, for
people with developmental and related cognitive disabilities. The Arc's Housing
Development Department recently launched The Arc of North Carolina's Opening
Door Initiative to increase the range of housing options available to meet
each individual's aspirations to live independently in the community with
appropriate in-home supports.
The Opening Doors' Initiative's goals are to:
-
Collaborate
regionally with housing and disability stakeholders by developing statewide
local/regional cross-disability housing coalitions to advocate for increased
housing resources and opportunities.
-
Promote the
creation of housing resources locally, and statewide, where none exist.
-
Discover and
promote existing housing resources to our constituency.
-
Promote
"self-controlled" housing: all choices made by self-advocates,
not for self-advocates.
-
Increase/develop statewide housing stock, particularly independent living
units/apartments.
-
Increase the
amount of self-advocates’ direct rental or purchase of their own
home.
-
Formulate
public policy recommendations to optimize housing opportunities for
self-advocates.
-
Increase the
opportunities to involve self-advocates in our housing resource advocacy
strategies.
-
Advocate for
services to be available anywhere the self-advocate chooses to live.
