What does the future hold?
The mission of Integrated Housing Options (IHO) is to bring safe, affordable, and permanent housing options to people with developmental disabilities through a community approach.

Who we are:
IHOC began as a collaborative effort among agencies in the community such as Parca, Kainos, FHAR, Community Gatepath of Northern California, Life Foundation, Community Association for Rehabilitation, Area Board Five, Golden Gate Regional Center, and concerned families.

What we want to do:

  • Inform city officials of the coalition and its goals through meetings and phone calls
  • Gain support from local elected representatives
  • Meet with developers to encourage set-a-sides for people with developmental disablilities
