Owning one@s own home has only recently been considered a viable residential option for individuals with disabilities. This study reports the development of homeownership initiatives and the results of an outcome study of homeownership programs for people with disabilities in nine states with regard to choice and control, community participation, and participation in the local economy. In‐person interviews were conducted with 129 individuals representing successful, pending and unsuccessful homeowners. Individuals in the successful group experienced greater levels of choice and control and participation in the local economy. The implications of these findings for expanding residential options for individuals with disabilities and more fully including individuals with disabilities as contributing members of their communities are explored
