Owning a home is a key part of the American dream. Unfortunately, if you have a disability, you may find it harder to afford to buy and retrofit a home to accommodate your needs. That’s because if you are unable to work or if you face significant medical expenses, you might not be able to qualify for a traditional mortgage or provide a 20% down payment.
Home ownership for people with disabilities is often important because many rentals lack accessible options. Buying a home may be the best option if you need unique physical accommodations to your living spaces.
If you are a parent, caregiver or a representative of person with autism you may qualify for many government services to assist you. You also have many rights under Missouri laws.
To review services, supports and rights you may go to the Missouri Government page: Missouri Department of Mental Health.

While most people associate social security with retirement benefits, it also provides disability benefits and support for family members who lose a spouse or parent.
