HOUSING SPOTLIGHT: Creating Inclusive, Disability-Forward Housing

Join a diverse and engaging panel of developers, academics, architects, and community members to unpack why prioritizing accessibility and inclusivity in affordable housing projects from the start can create a better resident experience while simultaneously saving costs and time for developers. The cross-sector panel will discuss the benefits of accessible, human-centered design and how designing for people with disabilities provides a more equitable approach to housing for everyone, as well as the practical elements of bringing projects that incorporate disability-forward features to life, and the relevant policy issues and academic discussions occurring in this space. Attendees will walk away with an understanding of the basic affordable housing landscape as it relates to building disability-forward housing, along with specific holistic practices they can implement immediately through accessing a new set of free multi-family housing design and operation standards co-created by advocates with and without disabilities, developers, and architects.

A virtual symposium presented by the UCLA Ziman Center’s Levine Program in Housing and Social Responsibility.
