Description

Since April is Fair Housing Month, this month’s Connecting Families welcomes Catherine Boyle, President of Autism Housing Pathways.  Catherine is a commissioner of the Winchester Housing Authority and has completed over 60 hours of housing counseling training through HUD-approved intermediaries. The recipient of two Margaret L. Bauman Awards for her work, Catherine also holds a certificate of graduate studies from UMass Boston in adapting curriculum, and a certificate in ADRC (Aging and Disability Resource Centers) Options Counseling from the Center for Aging and Disability Education and Research at Boston University’s School of Social Work.

Autism Housing Pathways works to educate families in Massachusetts about housing options for adults with developmental disabilities. Their mission is to enable Massachusetts residents with developmental disabilities and their families to find or create sustainable, supported, self-directed housing that meets their needs and contributes to their quality of life.

Getting on the Road to Housing will give families, teens, and young adults an overview, a roadmap (and a sandwich!) of how to prepare for sustainable and supportive housing.

Presenter:  Catherine Boyle, Commissioner of the Winchester Housing Authority
