On this episode of the Now and the Future Podcast we discuss housing options for people with intellectual disability.

We will discuss making housing decisions, mainstream housing options and how the NDIS can support a person with intellectual disability to meet their housing goals.

This podcast is an audio version of a workshop developed with funding from the Australian Government Information Linkages and Capacity Building program.
