SAVE THE DATE

Creative Housing Options Workshop - AUGUST 6 in Rockford

A Day in the Life: Told by the people who are LIVING it

Are you interested in your family member living on their own or with a friend or

roommate? Do you want to learn about creative housing options that could be

pursued even without a lot of state funding?

Come to learn more about creative housing options from people who made it

possible. Cubbull Inc., a CILA funded microboard helped move into his own

home near family and friends. Get to know the men who live at Whitehall Place,

LLC and those who care about them - hear how they rolled up their sleeves and

make living in the community their priority . The presentation will be filled

with successful examples and the steps taken to achieve a " home of their own " as

well as an opportunity for teams to begin planning the steps needed to make

THEIR home a reality.
