Description

Micaela Connery is the founder and CEO of a new inclusionary housing development called The Kelsey which is focused on creating an environment of mixed ability and mixed income. The Kelsey aims to be more than a housing development, they aim to be a social change organization expanding inclusion possibilities for individuals with disabilities. Part 1 of the interview focuses on the logistics of creating The Kelsey and why it is a desirable, yet never before created, model of housing. We are introduced to the term "inclusion natives" and learn why the city of San Jose was chosen as the first Kelsey housing development. Part 2 is an interesting discussion about how a parents motivation to create housing comes from a different angle and also why, for the future of policy, it is important for inclusionary housing to be an option. The question asked, "Does advocating for inclusionary housing mean advocating against intentional communities/campus models?" led to an interesting discussion. Part 2 of the conversation is the next episode, #62. Links to The Kelsey and topics discussed in these episodes are at www.lomah.org/podcast2/61

The LOMAH Podcast is an award winning show that runs topical series deep diving into an issue for 10-12 episodes with interviews from expert guests, including self advocates. Your host, Kim, has a teenage daughter with level 3 non speaking autism who will require 24/7 support the rest of her life. Like many parents, Kim has a lot of important questions. She does not claim to know the answers for her child nor yours but does promise to search for them and share what she is discovering along the way. You will notice a striking difference in the earlier shows compared to the most recent as she has grown and evolved as a result of listening to expert guests and self advocates.
