Housing Options 101

By Empower NY Team · 55 min · $25.00

Housing decisions are some of the hardest your family will make, and the options aren't always obvious. This class walks through the full menu — supportive apartments, certified residences, family care, and self-directed living arrangements — with honest pros and cons for each. We cover how waitlists actually work, what paperwork you'll need ready, and the questions to ask when you tour a placement. You'll hear from families who have been through the process, including what they wish they'd known earlier. You'll leave with a clear framework for evaluating options, a checklist for visits, and a sense of the realistic timelines involved at each step.
