HOMEOWNERSHIP AND HEALTHY LIVING GAPS ONCE IDENTIFIED BY ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE PROVEN THROUGH FINE-GRADE DATA
“Households with a person with a disability have lower income earning ability, people with limited English-speaking capability, females in a system where the glass ceiling still exists, seniors on fixed income – all of those elements lower a household’s earning potential,” said Chris Collier is the Alliance for Housing Affordability Program Manager for the Housing Authority of Snohomish County.
“People with disabilities have much higher medical and related bills – data proves it.
That shouldn’t remove them from having the ability to own a home.”
Collier is a fan of cities, counties and states that have or are
considering abolishing single family housing and allowing at least low density,
low-rise multifamily in those formerly exclusionary and monocultured zones.
