Over 10,000 Massachusetts young people with autism will be
scrambling to find affordable, supportive housing over the next
20 years. Autism Housing Pathways provides information &
training to families and individuals on housing, supportive
services and available funding streams, empowering them to
create new, innovative housing models that are safe and
sustainable. AHP also works with service providers and public
officials to make them aware of the appropriate supports
necessary for individuals with autism to be successful in a
residential setting.
