The Arc of Mecklenburg County has created a committee specifically designed to work on the issues surrounding housing for people with developmental disabilities. Our goal is to create more opportunities for individuals with disabilities to have access to affordable, accessible, safe housing options within the community.

We will do this through surveying the community, identifying service gaps, researching best practices, recruiting funding sources and volunteers and possibly building residential properties in the community. We will post updates to this site as the Arc of Mecklenburg’s Housing Committee continues to work on these plans.

Interested in joining the committee? Contact the chair of this committee, Patrick Pruden.
