Housing Market Guide

The A Place in the World Supportive Housing Market Guide provides terms and definitions for supportive housing and service delivery models targeting autistic adults and others with I/DD. Neuro-Inclusive Utah will use these terms as a foundation, thus it may be helpful to review and explore models described using the terms.
