Inspiring and championing innovative, community-based supportive housing options for people with IDD in Wisconsin
Supporting housing solutions for people with disabilities.
The Community Housing Task Force for People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) began as a group of passionate citizens, parents, non-profit executives, and philanthropists focused on inspiring the establishment of safe and enriching permanent housing solutions where people with IDD will thrive throughout all phases of their adult lives.
There is a housing crisis in WI for people with IDD.
When we began our work in 2019, there were more than 4,700 people on the Wisconsin DHS waitlist for residential services in the next 12 months. This doesn’t include the thousands of kids with Autism, Down syndrome, and other cognitive differences who will graduate high school and other transition programs over the next decade looking for employment and a place to call home.
We are in a housing crisis for people with IDD. But together, we have the power to begin a new era in our state.
Research, Educate, Advocate, Champion, Convene, & Catalyze
We hope to create a Wisconsin full of community-based supportive housing options where people with IDD will thrive throughout all phases of their adult lives. Learn more about CHTFWI’s goals.
