Did you know that AutismUp is actively working to ? We hosted a Local Leaders Workshop last week. It was a terrific turnout with over 70 stakeholders in attendance all eager to hear the results of the Rochester Housing Analysis that has been underway for the past several months and included input from more than 500 self-advocates and families! This project is essential and it’s only the beginning. Together with our community we believe we can create a roadmap to building quality, safe, sustainable, and innovative options for those living with I/DD. https://autismup.org/events/comprehensive-housing-market-analysis
