Larry Williams, a 59-year-old man with an intellectual disability, said his dream is to get married and buy a house of his own Downtown. But for now, he's happy in his nearly 2,000-square-foot home in Whitehaven.
Williams is one of three men with intellectual disabilities selected to move into the three-bedroom, two-bath home with 24-hour in-home care on Oakwood Drive, sponsored by United Housing and Shelby Residential and Vocational Services.
The organizations received a $1.3 million grant from the federal Troubled Asset Relief Program, which they've used to renovate seven formerly foreclosed homes for people with disabilities and low incomes.
