housing accessibility
Inclusive dwelling design
Housing accessibility refers to how easily people can obtain and use housing that meets their needs.
The term covers two distinct concerns: physical accessibility—features like ramps, wide doorways, and grab bars that accommodate disabilities—and economic accessibility, meaning whether housing is available and affordable to those seeking it.
The city's housing accessibility initiatives address both wheelchair-accessible units and income-based rental programs.
