CHALLENGES AND BEST PRACTICES
Alex Ghenis, a quadriplegic who uses a wheelchair for mobility, is an Oakland-based climate and disability justice advocate and disability rights consultant.
He says public/private partnerships
also must create accessible, affordable and attainable housing.
When Ghenis was the chair of the city
of Berkeley’s Commission on Disability, he saw how opposition to density
reduced the opportunity for affordable/accessible housing at a pair of sites by
BART and Caltrain transit stations located near vital services.
One was adjacent to the Ed Roberts
Campus, a Universal Design award-winning complex for independent living and
other disability-positive nonprofits.
