E-Learning Series from The Boggs Center on Housing and Independent Living

 

 

The Boggs Center has collaborated with the Division of Developmental Disabilities and the Supportive Housing Association of New Jersey to develop a six-lesson webinar series for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and those who support them to better understand independent living and learn about housing options.

The series, Understanding Independent Living and Housing Opportunities for People with IDD, can be accessed by anyone and may be especially beneficial if you are assisting someone with IDD transition to independent living or preparing for independent living yourself. The series is also available as a training in the College of Direct Support (CDS), where it can be tracked as part of your CDS transcript.

Free Resources to Help Family Members Plan for Their Loved One’s Future

 

Future planning is creating a guide for a person with IDD to lead a good life as independently as possible. Planning for the future after a parent or caregiver is no longer able to provide support is important and possible for all families, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Arc's Center for Future Planning offers free resources to help self-advocates, families, professionals, and others tackle all aspects of future planning, including housing, finances, employment, support services, and more. As you start to think about what a plan might look like or how you can help others plan, we encourage you to explore our resources!
