Details:
For the 2025 grant cycle, the Trust has identified two advocacy priorities. First, they are focused on enhancing the capacity of self-advocates to engage in policy work related to integrated housing. These organizations play a crucial role in voicing the needs and rights of individuals with IDD. Second, they are continuing the commitment to policy advocacy, targeting those systemic policy barriers that obstruct the availability of affordable and community-integrated housing for people with IDD.
- Priority 1: Enhancing Self-advocate Capacity
- Self-advocacy is a crucial component of the Trust’s mission to promote integration for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). Empowering self-advocates not only ensures that their voices are heard in shaping policies but also strengthens the foundation of an inclusive community. Moreover, self-advocates are the most credible and compelling advocates for systemic change. Their active participation is vital in creating housing solutions that are truly reflective of their needs and aspirations.
- Priority Two: Policy Advocacy
- The Fairview Trust continues its commitment to policy advocacy, building on the momentum of the previous funding in this area. The focus remains on influencing policies to create more integrated, affordable housing opportunities for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) in Oregon. This priority seeks to directly address the systemic barriers that prevent the creation of such housing and to work towards the Trust’s goal of adding 250 new integrated affordable units by 2030.
