Housing and Residential Supports

Traditional and Creative Options

One of the most common concerns of parents is "where will my child live when I'm gone?" This Zoom workshop will provide an overview of housing options offered by the NJ DDD - and more.

One of the most common concerns of parents is, “where will my child live when I’m gone?” This Zoom workshop will provide an overview of housing options offered by the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) and how to access them. However, DDD housing is not the only option for parents. Increasingly, families are looking beyond traditional group homes and supervised apartments for innovative housing supports for their loved ones with developmental disabilities. While 'self-directed' services and unlicensed settings hold great promise, many families find that funding is inadequate, and the burden of administration and management of services is overwhelming. Attendees will learn about options for funding residential services, including the vital role of Medicaid; how to safeguard services for a son or daughter; and how to avoid common pitfalls in working with state agencies to obtain effective out-of-home residential services. This 90-minute presentation includes a Q&A for attendees.
