The Section 811 program allows persons with disabilities to live as independently as possible in the community by increasing the supply of rental housing with the availability of supportive services. Facing elimination within the 2011 President’s Budget, the goal is to inform and educate the reader about both the strengths and weaknesses of the program in an effort to not only continue the program, but improve upon it.
An effort is underway to contact Legislators, inform them of the issues, and encourage them to retain this valuable program.
