Guide to Finding Housing

At times the housing search process is confusing and overwhelming. There are many types of housing and housing subsidies, and each type has specific eligibility criteria and steps to follow when applying. It is helpful to know what is necessary to share with housing providers when applying for or living in public or assisted housing. The Disability Resource Center hopes this guide will make it easier for consumers to understand how to acquire Affordable, Accessible and Available (AAA) housing and how to obtain reasonable accommodations when necessary.
