Advancing Families and Individuals Needing Services
My Special Place Housing Assessment Survey
The My Special Place Board invites you to take part in our housing assessment survey. Your input is essential in helping us understand the community’s interest in residential housing for individuals with disabilities. By participating, you’ll help us identify the specific needs of families and determine which housing models and amenities are most preferred.
Our mission is to create a safer, more inclusive world for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Through customized resources, training, and advocacy, we equip individuals, families, and communities with tools like IDD Safe Cards and education programs. We believe that when people with IDD are supported and understood, they can move through daily life with greater confidence and dignity. At our heart, we’re dedicated to ensuring every person is seen, heard, and safe.
