Diverse Housing Solutions

Creating accessible, affordable, and safe housing solutions for the deaf, deafblind, deafdisabled, and hard of hearing (DDBDDHH) community.

Deafinitely Housing is exploring housing solutions that respond to diverse community needs, including temporary housing for survivors of violence, family housing, affordable homeownership, and pathways to housing stability.

Community input and data are currently being gathered to better understand housing needs and priorities. This information will help guide the development of future housing solutions and partnerships.

Funding opportunities are also being explored to establish a housing fund that could support the acquisition of a housing unit for members of the DDBDDHH community.

A home-sharing program is also being researched as a potential solution to connect DDBDDHH homeowners and tenants through an application process. The program could provide more affordable housing options for tenants while offering homeowners, including older adults, and reduce financial strain and assistance with household tasks, companionship, or other agreed-upon forms of support.

Housing solutions designed with the DDBDDHH community in mind.
