Unlocking Potential: Social Housing as a Catalyst for Accessible, Affordable Living
Join the Community Living Policy Center on Thursday, December 5th at 3 p.m. ET for this exciting and timely webinar exploring the burgeoning movement for social housing in the United States and the untapped opportunities it presents to increase permanent, affordable, accessible housing for disabled renters.
Panelists: Mary Lou Breslin, Hanneke van Deursen, and Morgan Tweed
Social housing embodies the growing view that private, for-profit housing development has failed to meet the nation’s growing affordable housing crisis. Shielded from the market, rent-stabilized, and sustainable, social housing holds the potential to help solve the housing shortage for renters with diverse incomes, including very low-income disabled people.
This webinar will:
1. Summarize the policies that have caused the current affordable, accessible housing crisis in the US.2. Present an overview of the origins of social housing and how states and locales embrace the model.
3. Introduce lessons from social housing in the Netherlands.
4. Explain why and how social housing developers should fully incorporate principles of universal, inclusive design and accessibility features into new social housing construction.
5. Outline actions disability advocates can take to unlock the potential of social housing.
