The Early Days of Back Home in Indiana Alliance

The Early Days of Back Home in Indiana Alliance

Housing

"We'd learned that, it's no surprise, people with disabilities were the most underserved group in the mortgage and lending industry." In this video, Deborah McCarty explains the launching of the Back Home in Indiana Alliance in 1997. The original focus of the Alliance was on increasing low rates of home ownership among people with disabilities. Since then it has worked to advocate for a larger supply of integrated housing in the state that is both affordable and accessible. Deborah discusses the partnerships that have been instrumental in the Alliance's work and in its recognition by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development as one of 100 best partnerships in the country. Deborah, who is Executive Director of the Back Home in Indiana Alliance, was interviewed in 2017.
