About the Course:
The New York Alliance for Inclusion & Innovation Housing Navigator Course was developed in 2015 through the Balancing Incentive Program (BIP) grant. The 36 hour course provides relevant education and resources to assist a Housing Navigator in supporting a person with I/DD in creating housing options. New York Alliance's Center for Innovation & Learning will once again deliver the course in 2020!
Students will learn how housing is funded, developed and sustained. They will understand how to base the housing process on the needs of the individual, their social capital, their assets and income and their choices and options. They will design an individual's housing plan. At the conclusion of the course, they will be qualified to create housing opportunities for individuals and to develop agency capacity for more housing options.
New York is facing a housing crisis for people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD); housing costs are high, housing is scarce, and our I/DD system is undergoing significant change. Supporting people to find housing opportunities can be challenging with today's evolving systems and leaner budgets. Agency housing professionals may have limited knowledge of housing systems, eligibilities, entitlements and the opportunities afforded through housing networks.
