If you can afford to do so, considering you may be helping her to pay rent

anyways here are some options.

If she is over 18 or nearing there you can apply for low income/section 8

housing, she would be considered homeless if living with a parent over 18.

If she isn't there yet here's a thought that might work.

If you can purchase a small home 2 bedrooms in a safe area near buses or

other safe transportation and close to a store.

Than until your child is old enough rent that house out to a college

student or a single mother or small family, you could even rent the home on

section 8 than the person renting couldn't damage your home.

Once your daughter is around 15-16 start talking to her about the house,

letting her go over and help with the yard work, planting flowers or

whatever.

Than when your daughter is older hire someone to be her aide or roommate

and let them live in the home in exchange for helping your daughter out

with small tasks. There are lots of single woman who would love a nice place to

live in exchange for helping with cleaning and cooking.

Someday your daughter may be able to do the house 100% on her own, and if

not at least she has the tools and somewhere to always call home if

something were to happen.

Once she is over 18 she can have care workers come in and help as needed

and this saves her from wasting her money on rent her entire lifetime. Of

course you would charge her the rent to cover the mortage after she's 18 or at

least some of it.

Every state has foreclosed houses that sell for dirt cheap and they

normally only need small repairs.

NO don't do it without asking the tenant but many tenants don't have time

for yard work etc and would love someone helping to do it

All states have waivers

but 99% of all children with Autism will never qualify for a waiver

they have to have an IQ under 70 in most states, NOT a functional level the

same as a dd client

mine is 15 normal IQ but couldn't do anything without constant reminders

some days

that sounds great. We have purchased a small 3 bedroom unit, for investment, but

in the back of our minds its there, that maybe hannah one day will live there,

or if not, it will be left to her in the will, as we know our other 2 kids will

do well, and get out on their own. We are renting the place out at the moment,

he is a good tenant, so no worries there, but i couldn't go taking her around

there, as legally, its his place of residence. When she gets in her 20's, and if

living with us becomes hard....we would look into the services available for

her.
