Inclusive Housing and Environments
Home is where daily life happensâwhere we sleep, eat, rest, and spend private time. When housing isn't accessible, people with disabilities face barriers in their most personal spaces. Inclusive housing means homes that accommodate diverse bodies and abilities, allowing people with disabilities to live independently, with family, or in community as they choose. Creating inclusive housing requires attention to design, policy, and the full housing system.
