Did you know that one of the priorities of the Champaign County Board of Developmental Disabilities (CCBDD) is to ensure that individuals with developmental disabilities have the same access to safe, appropriate housing as everyone else? This goal is at the heart of what we do, and we use a variety of strategies to make it happen.
Our Service and Support Administrators, often referred to as case managers, work closely with individuals to help them find housing that meets their needs—whether that’s renting, leasing, or even purchasing a home in the community. In addition, we partner with a non-profit housing board that helps us purchase, update, and lease homes to individuals with disabilities. Through this partnership, CCBDD not only invests its own funds but also secures grants to make housing more accessible and affordable. These funds allow us to adapt homes to meet a variety of needs. Currently, we are proud to have 13 homes in Champaign County. These homes will provide individuals served by CCBDD the opportunity to live in comfortable, accessible spaces while paying affordable rent. At CCBDD, we believe that housing is more than just a place to live—it’s the foundation for independence, dignity, and community inclusion. We’re committed to making sure everyone has the chance to call a place “home.”
