Trends in Education - Accessibility

Accessibility is important to build from the ground up. Many accessibility features require the support systems to be in place from the start. For instance, a support bar for a bath or shower must be anchored in the wall behind the dry wall for complete stability.

Get in touch with us today to learn how we can make your home more accessible. We will be happy to discuss any changes you may be considering. In 1988, Congress enacted the 1988 Amendments to the Fair Housing Act extending protection on the basis of handicap and including provisions that certain housing built after March 1991 must meet specific minimum standards of accessibility. These accessibility requirements were established to increase access to housing for anyone with a disability, whether they reside in the unit or are visiting the owner-occupants. To demonstrate its commitment to meeting the housing needs of the disabled and to increase compliance with federal regulations, the building code industry developed a model codes matrix to meet or exceed the accessible design requirements of the Fair Housing Act. ness Partners & Associate
