Struggle to provide housing for Georgians with developmental disabilities remains, study says

Georgia lacks appropriate housing options for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, according to a new study.

“The current housing landscape is not working well for people with IDD and their caregivers,” said the report by Georgians for a Healthy Future, which is a nonprofit patient advocacy group.

“Many caregivers and people with IDD find themselves in situations that do not meet their needs or preferences because affordable and accessible housing and living situations are largely unavailable,” the report continued.
