DISABILITY SCOOP: Online Matching Service Pairs Adult Roommates With Developmental Disabilities
An online service that's believed to be the first of its kind is helping people with developmental disabilities find compatible roommates and settle into homes independent from their families. All of the roommates have some type of physical or developmental disability. They are matched in two- or three-person housing arrangements, with some needing an extra bedroom for a full-time caregiver. Others need a few hours of outside support each week.
