NAA NYM is excited to bring you this important segment of our Roadmap to Adulthood series presents an overview of the planning process for a residential placement. Topics include: a background of the current regulatory landscape that is driving restrictions and innovation, a discussion of the considerations in making a decision and the decision process itself. Please join us to hear the current issues and share your knowledge regarding this challenging topic.
Our presenters on this critical issue are Joseph Campagna of HOMECONNECT and John Maltby of the Westchester Institute of Human Development.
Joseph Campagna is a principal at HOMECONNECT. As a father of a son with autism, he is committed to using his 30 years of corporate and public financing experience to integrate those with autism into existing housing and promote the development of new housing. It is not uncommon to be struck by the lack of housing options for the adult I/DD/Autism population. HOMECONNECT is working on a pilot program for supportive housing in Brooklyn! HOMECONNECT recently connected with a nonprofit affordable housing developer/manager in Brooklyn (Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Prospect ParkSouth-north of Ditmas Avenue, Flatbush-Ditmas Park, North Bed Stuy) willing to explore housing for our population. Contact Joseph Campagna at (212) 363-0394 or by email and visit the HOMECONNECT website and Facebook page.
