S5: Episode 158 - Empowering your vision of 'home' and helping families coordinate future housing options for their loved ones

Pam founded Partners4Housing to provide a better way for families of people with IDD to find roommates and set up shared housing solutions. Her career has spanned 30 years in special needs housing, and she is an acknowledged expert in her field and a Friends of Housing Award Honoree. As housing coordinator in Seattle, she assisted 450 people with IDD with their move into housing over a 5-year period and has an in-depth working knowledge of how to help people navigate SSI, SSDI, State Residential Support, Medicaid-funded personal care services, supported employment income, and Section 8 housing subsidies. "I've been called an indomitable problem-solver. I love to work with parents to solve their unique challenges and leave their world a little better than I found it."
