Less than 1% of housing is wheelchair accessible and virtually all of that is in multifamily housing. Accessible housing features a zero-step entrance, accessible restroom, wider doors + lowered kitchen/bath counters and sinks to accommodate reduced mobility. https://lnkd.in/edrQkB5i

Communities must come together and create a vision of what kind of housing it wants to accommodate its workforce, young families, seniors and people with disabilities.?Then regulatory systems must be reformed to remove things in the zoning code that are barriers to that vision coming true. https://lnkd.in/e8WZCFWe #planning #zoning #peoplewithdisabilities #affordablehousing #code #policy #vision

Adaptation works will always be a reality, however, we need to get developers to think PREVENTIONS. #AccessibleHomes are in short supply and we must think universally rather than only building homes suitable for a portion of society. At a minimum, we all age and a home without level variations and inaccessible spaces is living the dream! #Accessibility #Preventions #UniversallyDesignedHomes #SimpleChanges #Disability https://lnkd.in/eqkk5Bbp

ABC News featured a really important housing issue. We are still building homes like we are never going to grow old (and really want to go to institutional care). How can we age in place if our homes don't have slightly wider doorways for the wheelie walker (or pram) and space in the bathroom so a carer can help with showering? It's not a big ask - just a few design tweaks, but the key question is what does the industry gain by refusing to do this? Who benefits? Time for the NSW and WA governments to take the industry to task and make them follow the Livable Housing Design Standard mandated in the National Construction Code. Queensland and ACT have done it and the sky didn't fall in. Victoria and other states said they will follow this year. And there are no grab bars in sight - Livable Housing Design is about regular homes, not "disabled" homes. Have a look at CUDA's online training course on how to do Livable Housing Design. https://lnkd.in/gCM_HXq2 https://lnkd.in/gSR6Yn7j

This April, we celebrate Fair Housing Month, a time when fair housing professionals across the nation renew their commitment to promoting equal housing access and opportunities for all. This month is significant as we acknowledge the role of fair housing laws in safeguarding individuals’ rights and combating discrimination. Fair Housing Month serves as a reminder of the tireless efforts of civil rights and fair housing professionals nationwide. These passionate individuals are tasked with upholding both the spirit and the letter of fair housing laws. ?Each day, they make a commitment to address inequities and expand access to housing for all. Their dedication fuels the ongoing fight for equal housing by driving progress and fostering inclusive communities. NFHTA stands in solidarity with fair housing professionals, striving to create a future where everyone is treated with dignity, respect, and fairness in their housing choices. Let’s all take a moment to recognize their contributions, both large and small, that open doors for families across the nation to enjoy the housing of their choice. As we celebrate Fair Housing Month, let us also reflect on how much more we can achieve when we find shared values and build relationships in this movement. Together, let us continue to break down barriers to housing and inspire future generations of fair housing professionals. #FairHousingMonth

Why Are ADA Compliant Homes Smart? In the United States, a significant portion of the population either has a disability or requires special care. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 61 million adults live with a disability, which is about 1 in 4 Americans. Disabilities can range from mobility issues to cognitive, hearing, or vision impairments. Additionally, many people have friends or family members who require special care. Given this considerable number, designing homes that are ADA-compliant offers substantial benefits not only to those who are currently disabled but also to those who may experience mobility challenges in the future. This includes veterans, first responders, police officers, and others who might face disabilities due to their line of work or as they age.

Visit https://lnkd.in/gHbmUeEK to sign the Open Letter to NSW State Leaders. For the past 2 years, the NSW government has failed to sign up to national mandatory design standards that require new developments to offer basic accessibility. These standards are not difficult or expensive: they simply require developers to build a step-free shower and level entry to houses. You can read the full standards here: https://lnkd.in/g_A54TK3 The Australian Building Codes Board modelling for these standards shows it will only add about 1% to the cost of a new build. It will cost the government more to retro-fit houses to make them accessible after they are built. Inaccessible housing impacts quality of life, and will force more people into specialist disability housing or aged care, costing governments more. #CmonNSW #EndDiscriminatoryHousing #NSW Chris Minns Daniel Mookhey Kate Washington MP #buildingbetterhomes #NationalConstructionCode #buildingministers #accessiblehousing #disability #peoplewithdisability
