Why should affordable housing development processes become more disability-forward? How can organizations and developers integrate this lens into their housing initiatives?
Join Shelterforce’s Miriam Axel-Lute as she hosts “Getting to More Accessible, Affordable, Inclusive Housing,” on Thursday, Feb. 15 at 3 p.m. ET. Axel-Lute will be chatting with folks who are actively involved in creating more accessible housing, and advocates who are working on getting more funding for it.
Speakers include:
Chelsea Hayman, director of housing policy and programs for Maryland’s Department of Disabilities.
Hunter Herrera-McFarland, policy associate for The Kelsey, an organization that creates and works on disability-forward housing solutions.
Shelly Richardson, executive director of the Statewide Independent Living Council of Illinois.
Anita Cameron, director of minority outreach for Not Dead Yet, a national, grassroots disability rights group that opposes legalization of assisted suicide.
