FROM BAD TO WORSE IN A TIGHT U.S. HOUSING MARKET
“People with disabilities are the largest minority in America—well more than 60 million and the number is growing.
“It makes sense for the public and private sector to
respond to this,” said Allie Cannington, The Kelsey’s senior project manager,
organizing & advocacy.
“A 2020
study by the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency found that for every dollar
spent on home repair (to make it more accessible for aging and disability),
there were $19 in Medicare savings,” she added, emphasizing that investing in
affordable, accessible housing is not just the right thing to do for human
beings, but also a huge return on investment.
