<br />2.9 Special Needs Groups
<br />Certain residents may have more difficulty finding suitable, affordable housing due to special needs
<br />and circumstances related to employment and income, family characteristics, disability, or
<br />household characteristics. The special needs groups described in this section include seniors,
<br />persons with disabilities, large households, single parents, people living in poverty, farm workers,
<br />homeless individuals and families, and college students. Many of these groups overlap. For example,
<br />some farm workers experience homelessness and many seniors have a disability. Most special needs
<br />groups benefit from affordable housing options, particularly housing located near public
<br />transportation, employment and schools, and medical and community services. An overview of
<br />special needs groups in San Leandro is provided in Table 2.14.
