PROPERTY TRUSTS AND THE WISH PROGRAM

We now have an opportunity to learn about yet another tool to increase the stock of affordable housing inventory for persons with developmental disabilities…. a real property trust where private parties (usually parents or other family members) would leave property in a trust. Lisa Mills, Executive Director of the Wisconsin Initiative on Sustainable Housing, will share her knowledge and expertise in initiating and implementing a property trust program.


The California Affordable Housing Institute is a creative collaboration of individuals and organizations dedicated to enriching the lives of people with developmental disabilities. Our primary focus (purpose is to advance the development of quality, affordable housing options throughout the State of California.)

 

Participate in a Highly Interactive Workshop

This Summit is designed for individuals or organizations interested in creating affordable housing options for people with developmental disabilities.
