Guide to Home Ownership for People With Disabilities
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.

Assistance to Survivors of Human Trafficking
What is human trafficking? Human trafficking is a public health issue that impacts individuals, families, and communities. Traffickers exploit other human beings by targeting at-risk populations including persons who have experienced or been exposed to other forms of violence or sexual abuse, and persons disconnected from stable support networks such as runaway and homeless youth, unaccompanied minors, migrant farm workers, and persons displaced during natural disasters. Human trafficking includes labor and sex trafficking.
