AZ Community Living NOW 4th Housing Training-March 14th

March 3, 2011 By Administrator

wtmsaguaro-2I’d like to encourage families and individuals with disabilities to attend the next session on MARCH 14 from 2 PM to 4 PM at sites in Yuma, Phoenix, Flagstaff, Sierra Vista and Tucson. Please see the information below for the next training session.

Arizona Community Living NOW, a new program designed and administered by the Sonoran UCEDD and supported by grant funds from the Developmental Disabilities Planning Council (DDPC), addresses the important issue of how to give families the information they need to create affordable and accessible community living situations for themselves and their family members with developmental disabilities. Arizona Community Living NOW will deliver six educational sessions aimed at providing training on a diverse range of topics addressing needs around housing – everything from knowing what services and supports are available to future planning and home buying.

The six educational training sessions include:

* Community Services and Supports: What We Have and What We Need (January 24, 2011, 2-4pm)
* Transitions: My Chosen Life and What it Means to Me (February 7, 2011, 2-4 pm)
* Consumer Controlled Housing: Making Informed Choices in Rental and Home Ownership (February 28, 2011, 2-4pm)
* Shared Living: Important Discussions about Daily Life (March 14, 2011, 2-4pm)
* Special Needs Planning: Guardianship and Living Trusts
* Financial Education and Planning

The presenter for this session will be speaking in-person at the Disability Empowerment Center in Phoenix, Arizona. Each two-hour presentation will be broadcast live via interactive video to community locations throughout the state, allowing participants at any location to ask questions of the presenters. For those unable to attend a training session, video and transcripts of each session will be available at http://azcommunitylivingnow.org

A new series of six trainings with information on housing related issues for persons with disabilities, their families, and professionals
