Shaping the Future of Accessible Housing

Accessibility in design goes beyond physical spaces; it enhances quality of life by allowing individuals to participate fully in their communities. As we look to the future of housing development, it’s vital to integrate accessibility at every stage, ensuring that homes are inclusive, safe, and responsive to the needs of all residents.

Join CHAPA on Thursday, December 5, at MassHousing for our Shaping the Future of Accessible Housing forum. The event will feature insights from those with lived experience, sharing how housing accessibility impacts their daily lives. A panel of architects and developers with experience incorporating accessibility into their projects will share best practices. Additionally, a representative from the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board (MAAB) will provide insight into the variance process.

Panelists:

• Laura Baker, Real Estate Development Director, Valley CDC
• Lizbeth Heyer, President, 2LifeCommunities
• More TBA!

Please note in the event registration form or email Jordan Stocker (jstocker@chapa.org) if you need any accommodations for the event. The forum will begin promptly at 10 AM, so please arrive around 9:30 AM to check in and enjoy light refreshments.
