Session Description

According to data gathered by the Technical Assistance Collaborative (TAC), there are no U.S. housing markets where an individual dependent on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) can afford a safe and acceptable home without a source of rental assistance. In Maryland, 11% of our population has a disability, and 73% of low-income households in the state are extremely cost-burdened renters. How did we get here? This workshop chronicles the history of housing in neighborhoods and the advent of the Fair Housing Act, with a focus on how these events have transformed affordable housing and independent living options available for people with disabilities.

Learning Objectives: Participants will be able to:

1.    Describe how the history of federal housing programs has influenced the landscape of our communities in the modern era. 
2.    Discuss types of housing programs, including special subsidies and vouchers for people with disabilities. 
3.    Determine potential policy and programming interventions that sustain affordable units in each community.
