Please
join the DBTAC - Southwest ADA Center at ILRU for a webcast on “Comparison of Housing Access Standards: Fair
Housing, Universal Design & Visitability”.
Barbara Chandler,
Fair Housing Manager at Metropolitan Boston Housing Partnership will
present the webcast on “Comparison of Housing Access Standards:
Fair Housing, Universal Design & Visitability” on Wednesday, August 27, 2008 at 2:00pm Central.
This session is designed for anyone with an interest in the different concepts
of housing design for persons with disabilities. Housing design options for
persons with disabilities and their families have broadened from the
traditional mandated code accessibility standards over the past few years.
While this has created more options, it has also created much confusion as to
what these concepts offer in terms of developing housing that best serves this
highly diverse population. The speaker will provide a comparison of the goals,
principles, standards and general levels of accessibility of the Fair Housing
Amendments Act of 1988, universal design and vistability. Ms. Chandler will
also discuss the differences between mandated standards of accessibility and
voluntary general principles.
