SELF-ADVOCATE TESTIMONIALS
Kyle (26), Matthew (27), and Sam (28) are three friends, all employed, who talk daily about living in their own apartments and everything they are going to do – watch WWE and go out on dates. Each needs special assistance with meal preparation and managing medications. Unfortunately, there are not good housing options for Sam, Matthew, and Kyle that provide the support needed at a cost that is affordable.
Caroline (28) has three part-time jobs and desires to be more independent. She dreams of having friends over to her own apartment to watch Grey’s Anatomy and eat snacks. She loves the idea of living on campus with her friends and having independence just like her sister. Caroline lives with Rheumatoid Arthritis and needs to stay active and healthy to maintain her mobility.
