For the second year running, MASILC has assembled a report about the state of Massachusetts’s affordable, accessible housing shortage. The report features data from the Housing Navigator, and personal stories about the impact of the shortage from consumers of the Massachusetts Independent Living Centers.
From the report: “There is a growing need for housing units that serve Massachusetts’ aging and disabled populations. With the actual cost difference between standard and accessible housing units being negligible, creating more accessible affordable housing will allow people with disabilities to live in the communities of their choice, elders to age in place, and communities to benefit.”
