A pilot project centered on the housing needs and supports of individuals who will be leaving their family home and moving into the community someday. The My Home My Life project gives families the oppourtunity to connect with one another, and learn how others have problem-solved and approached this next step in their family member's life.
This program is offered with the idea that the sooner the families start to address the issues of the move from the family home, the easier the transition will be for your son or daughter and yourself. WISE holds monthly informational meetings on various housing related topics and we encourage open discussion. Everyone in your family and extended family are welcome to join in. Even if you feel a move for your family member is a bit farther down the road, this would be a great opportunity to meet other families, get ideas and begin the “pre-planning” process. And also to seek out possible housemate matches.
This project is supported by King County DDD. We are working with Pam Blanton, Housing Coordinator and Beth Boram, DD Housing Planner, of King County.
Our group meets monthly from January through October. We meet at the Safeco Jackson Street Center located in Seattle. Directions
