Individuals living in public housing communities often experience access issues when it comes to advocating for community resources and services, especially services supporting people with disabilities (Anderson et al., 2021). Research has also pointed to the importance of stakeholder engagement in public housing communities (Mouratidis, 2020). Developing solutions with all stakeholders empowers individuals to help direct available resources towards new opportunities (Browne et al., 2017; Kennedy, 2018). Addressing the needs of diverse communities, including people with disabilities, needs to be in the forefront. There has been a paucity of disability research in a public housing environment. Furthermore, residents with disabilities may face even greater challenges acquiring services and advocating for their needs (Park, Cho, & Chen, 2019). This research employed a quantitative approach to understanding insights from community residents about their perceived needs. The research was conducted to understand the needs of residents with and without disabilities. For residents with disabilities, the programs that were ranked highest include: developing community projects, building age-focused programs, and addressing health related services. These findings offer suggestions for future programming, policies, and research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
