Affordable Housing

Accessible affordable housing is often a critical element in enabling people with MS to preserve their independence and remain engaged in their communities. However learning about available housing options can be challenging. Whether seeking to renegotiate a mortgage, arrange home modifications, apply for rental vouchers, or explore affordable assisted living, navigating the maze of agencies and funding sources supporting these alternatives and services can be daunting.
