Scope of Work

The Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities (GCDD) is seeking proposals from qualified individuals and/or organizations to form a task force that creates a work plan for implementing specific policy goals and recommendations for the Second Phase of the Housing Project.

Georgians with IDD and their caregivers are struggling to afford housing and living situations that fully meet their needs and preferences. The gap between currently available housing and what is needed puts Georgians with IDD at risk of poorer health, reduced independence and freedom, and financial stress.

Disability-forward housing policy requires changes that are affordable, inclusive, and accessible. The selected contractor will form a task force to develop a work plan and timeline for the implementation of these three policy goals:

  • Affordability: make housing more financially accessible for individuals with disabilities
  • Accessibility: improve the physical accessibility of housing across Georgia
  • Inclusivity: foster inclusive communities as defined in the DD Act: The acceptance and encouragement of the presence and participation of individuals with developmental disabilities, by individuals without disabilities, in social, educational, work and community activities, that enables individuals with developmental disabilities to:
    • have friendships and relationships with individuals and families of their own choice;
    • live in homes close to community resources, with regular contact with individuals without disabilities in their communities;
    • enjoy full access to and active participation in the same community activities and types of employment as individuals without disabilities; and
    • take full advantage of their integration into the same community resources as individuals without disabilities, living, learning, working, and enjoying life in regular contact with individuals without disabilities.
