Disability Housing: What Happens When Parents Can No Longer Provide Care?

Hunter Christian, Executive Director of Villa de Vida, discusses San Diego’s shortage of affordable housing for adults with developmental disabilities. Christian talks about how the Poway community helps residents live independently.  She explains how donated land, tax credits, county funding, project-based vouchers, and resident support made 54 apartments possible—and why an 18,000-person waiting list demonstrates the urgent need to replicate the model.
