October Conference and Sponsorship Recognition

The two day meeting was very productive. Micaella Connery presented www.thekelsey.org about inclusive communities. LHA discussed the grant referred to in next story. Over 40 people broke into focus groups to discuss data, funding, services and stakeholders that should be involved with the strategic housing framework. Very productive two days!
Special thanks to sponsors Pacific Premier Bank and US Bank.
LHA Received SCDD Grant

State Council for Developmental Disabilities has awarded the Lanterman Housing Alliance a grant in the amount of $107,800. Once the contract is signed we will use these funds to develop and release a Strategic Housing Framework to meet the housing needs of people with intellectual/developmental disabilities in the State of California who meet the federal definition of I/DD. LHA will be working in partnership with the Corporation for Supportive Housing.  Look for a survey from LHA in early 2018!
