This is a very detailed explanation of an American project designed to develop, implement, evaluate and disseminate an approach to assist individuals to buy their own homes and be included in their communities (it was seen that ownership can serve as a platform for community membership). The Project involved ongoing commitments from many agencies, state departments and individuals at the local and national levels. It required flexible and imaginative financing initiatives and it required education in order to assist individuals as well as provide training for staff and agencies involved in the project. The project will be extended nationally. A very 'how-to' article. Keywords: Individualisation, Accommodation
