HSRC Webinar: Partnerships to Expand Accessible Housing Options with Assistive Technology

Thursday, November 21, 12:00 p.m.

The lack of available accessible housing options can impact the independence and autonomy of a person with disabilities more than almost anything else, limiting choice and isolating people with disabilities in geographic pockets in cities, towns, and all across the U.S. Home modifications, including the use of assistive technology (AT), can widen the scope of accessible housing options by addressing the accessibility needs of individuals with disabilities and adapting their environment to meet those needs.

This webinar will briefly touch upon the wide range of AT currently available and how it can be used to make a home accessible. Presenters from New York will detail how their cross-sector partnership was formed, what unique perspective each member brought to the team, and best practices and lessons learned from their pilot program. Finally, they will provide information on what funding and resources might be available to support increased access to AT.
