1. Getting Ready To Look For Housing

Know Your Needs and Preferences

Start thinking about where you would like to live.

  • Do you want to be near a bus line?
  • Do you like to walk to do your shopping?
  • Would you like to live in town?
  • Or, would you prefer living in a quiet, neighborhood setting?

Make a list of things that are important to you in where you live. This list will help you decide where to start looking for housing.

What features are you looking for?

You might have some features that you need to make sure your new home has. Some examples are:

  • Do you need multiple bedrooms for family members or room mates?
  • Do you have pets or service animals?
  • Do you need access for wheelchairs or mobility devices?

Make a list of your important needs and features. Be sure to use that list when you’re searching for new housing to make sure your new home will support those needs.
