Housing
Without a home, it is almost impossible for any person to keep a job. There is an established need to remove barriers preventing people with disabilities from residing in the community, improve capacity and access to affordable and accessible housing that is coordinated with long-term care support, and provide support in navigation of the housing system.
Since 2004, Rhodes to Independence has been committed to constructing sustainable system changes that will remove barriers preventing people with disabilities of all ages from residing in the community or in the housing arrangement of their choice.
Research and Publications
Transportation
Accessible
transportation,
public
or
private,
that
can
reliably
take
a
worker
with
disabilities
to
and
from
work
every
work
day
is
just
not
readily
available
in
Rhode
Island.
This
continues
to
be a
major
barrier
to
independence
and
employment.
To
address
this
issue,
Rhodes
to
Independence
has
worked
since
2003
to
brainstorm
strategies
to
enhance
existing
transportation
options
and
services
in
support
of
people
with
disabilities
who
are
employed
and
those
who
would
like
to
work,
and
to
explore
innovative
programs
that
have
been
implemented
elsewhere
and
might
be
duplicated
in
Rhode
Island.
