Homeownership for people with disabilities: The state of the States in 1999

Abstract

In the last decade, homeownership has become a reality for hundreds of people historically excluded from what is perhaps the most sought-after American dream. Over the last decade, through the efforts of many individuals and organizations, a great deal has been learned about overcoming obstacles, capitalizing on opportunities, and navigating the process of purchasing a home. This article discusses the findings of a national survey of 26 homeownership initiatives and of technical assistance activities and outcomes in the 23 states involved in one federally supported initiative, the National Home of Your Own Alliance.
