FROM BAD TO WORSE IN A TIGHT U.S. HOUSING MARKET
“Part of solution to this housing crisis is to go beyond looking at number of units, so we’re looking at the type of housing.
It is critical to build integrated housing—disabled people are not isolated or segregated,” said Allie Cannington, The Kelsey’s senior project manager, organizing & advocacy.
“We emphasize creating housing for people who need supportive services in their homes and communities.
We do this with our own developments and through the policy
changes we push for.”
Cannington noted that The Kelsey advocates for more use of LIHTC and more tax credit projects to be move-in ready for people with disabilities.
The nonprofit also
has collaborated with architecture firms to create a free, online guide to Housing
Design Standards of Accessibility and Inclusion.
