November Topic:  Housing Services

Do you ever wonder:

  • Where will my loved one live when they are an adult?
  • How soon do you need to start the housing process with San Diego Regional Center?
  • What steps do you take?
  • What are the options for housing and residential living?

Our guest speakers will try to address these questions, and help you understand the process so that your family can be more prepared.
