Affordable Housing for people with Disabilities

Donations to this fund were low this quarter so I wanted to explain where your donations go when you donate to this cause.

Donations to the GlobalGiving Fund  for Affordable Housing for individuals with disabilities play a vital role in helping individuals with disabilities secure affordable, ADA-accessible rental housing. Many people living with disabilities face the dual challenge of limited income and a severe shortage of housing that meets their physical needs. Through the generosity of our donors, the Fund bridges this gap by subsidizing rental costs to ensure that no participant pays more than 30% of their income on housing — a nationally recognized standard for affordability. This support allows individuals to live with dignity and independence, free from the burden of choosing between paying rent and meeting other essential needs.

Every dollar donated directly impacts a person's ability to remain stably housed in a home that is truly accessible — whether that means wheelchair-accessible entryways, roll-in showers, widened doorways, or proximity to public transportation and medical services. In 2025, contributions to the Fund helped place over 600 individuals with disabilities into qualifying ADA-accessible rental units, with an average monthly housing cost reduced to just 27% of recipient income. Stable, accessible housing is not just a roof overhead — it is the foundation upon which individuals can pursue employment, maintain their health, and fully participate in their communities.

We know you have choices when you give and we thank you for those who support this cause. Your generosity has the power to change a life. For individuals with disabilities, a safe and affordable home is not a luxury — it is the cornerstone of everything. It means waking up in a space built for them, not against them. It means financial stability, personal independence, and the freedom to live fully. When you give to the Affordable Housing for people with disabilities, you are not simply covering rent — you are opening a door, literally and figuratively, to a future filled with possibility. Join us today and help ensure that every individual, regardless of ability or income, has a place to call home.
