🎁 Giving Thoughtfully This Holiday Season 🎁

When a loved one with a disability receives needs-based benefits like SSI or Medicaid, some gifts — especially cash — can unintentionally put those benefits at risk.

Why it matters:
Cash, large checks, or high-value assets may count as income or resources and affect eligibility. Rules vary by state, so it’s important to give carefully.

Safer ways to give:
✔️ Contribute to a Third-Party Special Needs Trust
✔️ Use an ABLE account (one per person; annual contribution limits apply)
✔️ Pay directly for experiences or services like tickets, lessons, or memberships

Great gift ideas that are usually safe:
🎨 Books, games, art supplies
📱 Electronics or adaptive technology
🧸 Sensory-friendly or comfort items
♿ Accessibility-focused tools that support independence

Community Housing Network (CHN) is proud to administer the IDD Housing Access Pilot Program (IHAPP) — a statewide initiative funded by the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) through Housing Community Development Funds (HCDF).

IHAPP’s mission is to expand access to affordable, inclusive, and community-integrated housing by supporting new construction, rehabilitation, and acquisition of units — both in mixed-income rental developments and through homeownership pathways.
Across Michigan, thousands of individuals with IDD face housing barriers due to limited income, a shortage of accessible homes, and reliance on aging caregivers. IHAPP is investing in accessibility, integration, and meaningful choice to create real housing solutions.

💙 Everyone deserves the opportunity to live safely, independently, and fully included in their community.

We recently partnered with The Michigan Law Center, PLLC to share vital information about pooled trusts — a powerful resource for individuals with disabilities and their families.

During this session, we explored what pooled trusts are, when they can be used, and why they matter. Whether you’re a family member, attorney, advocate, or service provider, we believe in working together to build brighter, more secure futures — because no one should have to navigate this journey alone.

For individuals receiving SSI, Medicaid, or other means-tested public benefits, receiving a settlement or inheritance without a plan in place can lead to dev...

💙 A Day Rooted in Purpose 💙

Yesterday, the Springhill Housing Corp. Board of Directors and CHN Property Management came together for a powerful day of property visits—walking the grounds, stepping into homes, and seeing firsthand the spaces where our mission comes to life.

These visits weren’t just about buildings. They were about listening, learning, and reconnecting with the reason we do this work: to create safe, dignified, and accessible housing for people with disabilities. Each property tells a story. Some of resilience, some of challenge, all of community.

We’re proud of the progress we’ve made—and even more committed to the work ahead. Thank you to our board for showing up with open hearts and to Community Housing Network, Inc. who help us create spaces that truly feel like home.

🌟 July is National Disability Pride Month 🌟

At Springhill, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and brilliance of people with disabilities—not just this month, but every day.

Disability Pride is focused on honoring identity, breaking down barriers, and creating a world where every person is valued for exactly who they are. It's about rejecting stigma, embracing inclusion, and recognizing that disability is a natural and powerful part of the human experience.

To our beneficiaries, families, advocates, and supporters: Thank you for showing us what determination, joy, and courage look like.

Let’s keep building a community where pride, access, and opportunity are for everyone. 💚♿️✨
