The Directory links the people served by the MR system with needed resources, supports choice, self-determination and inclusion, and offers connections for families, agencies, the public and the human service system.

MyCityMyPlace is a resource for the Family-Driven Support Services Program, family support groups, Support Coordinators, and staff working in related human service systems (public education, aging, health care, early intervention, housing) to link people with disabilities and their families to needed resources, both specialized and generic (community).

The Resource Directory supports inclusion in the community, identifies volunteer activities, civic initiatives, opportunities for networking, employment possibilities, faith communities, cultural events, recreational opportunities, and includes a community calendar, School District regulations, resources for assistive technology, housing, health, transportation and income resources and much more. Web pages for local and national advocacy organizations and the services and supports offered by Philadelphia's MR agencies are linked.

MyCityMyPlace contains a calendar, an E-announcement list, bulletin board, and advocacy information. If you would like to receive regular e-mail Announcements about updates to the MyCityMyPlace.com website, click on the e-Announcements link below.
