THE ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR INTERGENERATIONAL COMMUNITIES
REALTORS® understand the importance of Universal Design.
In
Illinois, the Heartland REALTOR® Organization used a $15,000 housing
opportunity grant from the NAR and partnered with the city of Woodstock, Ill.,
the Woodstock Community Unit School District 200 and Illinois REALTORS® to
build a prototype model home.
It will
incorporate Universal Design elements that will be used as a national model to
educate communities about building with “Universal Design from the ground up.”
Upon
completion, tours of the home’s features will be promoted to the public.
The
prototype is being used to ignite interest in new inventory for homes that are
designed to allow aging in place.
The project
has drawn interest from AARP and Metropolitan Mayors Caucus.
