Still time to participate. This survey will help advance data driven decision making. Learn more: https://www.keyswi.org/my-housing-voice

📣 We’ve extended the My Housing Voice survey deadline by ONE MORE WEEK!

Why? Because the feedback we’ve received so far has been incredibly valuable, and we want to make sure as many voices as possible are included in this conversation. 💙

Families, self-advocates, caregivers, and supporters across Northeast Wisconsin have already shared powerful insights about the housing challenges and hopes they have for the future of adults with autism and intellectual/developmental disabilities (A/I/DD).

Every survey response helps paint a clearer picture of what our community truly needs. More voices means stronger data, better advocacy, and more informed future housing solutions.

🗓 New Deadline: May 25th
👉 Take the survey today at www.myhousingvoice.org

You do NOT need to currently be looking for housing to participate. Your experiences, concerns, and ideas still matter.

Please help us spread the word by sharing this post!
