In 2001, Movin' Out assisted me to organize the funding sources I needed to purchase my first home -- a condominium in downtown -- completely barrier free to meet my physical access needs. The Housing Counselor walked me through the whole process of pre-qualifying for a mortgage and coordinated all the paperwork so I could obtain city, state and county funds to assist with the down payment and a low-interest loan through WHEDA. A great organization to work with!

When our son was diagnosed with autism seven years ago, the plan we'd had for our lives was derailed. In the years since then we have devoted every spare penny and all our time to helping him realize his full potential. With very little savings and only one moderate income we gave up on our dream of owning a home and having a back yard in which our son could play. We struggled to find room for all of his therapy equipment in the rentals we could afford. Then we were referred to Movin' Out and through the wonderful support and guidance of Rebecca and the well-organized process Movin' Out has established, we made our way through the steps of finding a home in which to raise our boy. We have lived in and loved our home for over a year and feel grateful every day for the opportunity. The folks at Movin' Out worked a small miracle in piecing together multiple funding sources for us. They helped us prepare for the responsibility we were taking on in buying a house. They offered encouragement, practical and emotional support, and celebrated with us when the keys were in our hand. It was a really amazing thing to find and work with an organization whose mission is to bring about such a profound change in the lives of people with disabilities and their families. The gifts of roots, comfort, and building a place in our community are beyond description. We would never have known these if not for Movin' Out.

Movin Out is the absolute best ORGANIZATION AROUND!!! They made it possible for me and my friends to move out of situation that was getting worse e.g. Fish Hatcherty Road into Stonebridge Condos. Movin Out put in unit washer and dryers which have been an absolute lifesaver to my friends. What we do with out them? I feel the area is extremely safe and I have loved living here for the past year. Movin Out went beyond what was expected like putting in Grab bars for me in my apartment and in the bathroom. Movin Out also paid to have railings put outside on the ramp leading into my building which was very much appreciated not only by me but with the residents in the 2420 building. Thank you to Movin Out for having made my first year so enjoyable and I look forward to being apart of this organization for many more years to come.

Movin' Out is a really fantastic company that fills a huge gap in the lives of so many people. With help from Movin' Out, we were able to help a young man achieve a level of independence that would not have otherwise been possible. Thanks to their hard work and knowledge of the grants and programs available to people with disabilities, he now has a condo where he'll be able to live comfortably far into the future. The staff at Movin' Out were always extremely helpful, courteous, and hard working. I admit I had some doubts whether we'd be able to make it work, but Movin' Out came through without a moment's hesitation.

Movin' Out helped me purchase a home for me and my son. My life changed forever 5 years ago when i suffered a spinal cord injury and i was forced to re-evaluate my life goals. I went back to school and graduated in '10 with an associates degree in human services. I found a job and then my thoughts turned to purchasing a house. Movin' Out helped my by finding over $45000 in loans to help me buy my house. I could have never afforded such a beautiful home and i look forward to living there with my son. My counselor Amy, at Movin' Out helped me with every step of the way through the purchase offer right up to the closing. I'm forever grateful to her and Movin' Out for making my dream come true.
