ACCESSIBLE HOUSING (9)

PLANNING BEST PRACTICES CAN ACCOMMODATE MORE WHEELCHAIR USERS

Disability Options Network (DON) works with the Lawrence County Land Bank to turn abandoned homes and vacant lots into scattered site housing with roll-in showers, accessible kitchens, and barrier-free entrances. 

DON has gutted and rebuilt existing abandoned houses (rendering above) and constructed new accessible homes on vacant lots in and around New Castle, Pennsylvania.
