Housing market tough for people with disabilities
March 5th, 2008From the Associated Press in the Houston Chronicle, MSNBC and elsewhere:
The affordable housing shortage plaguing Washington, D.C., and other metropolitan areas has come down particularly hard on the disabled, who have higher rates of poverty and lower rates of employment. At the same time, much of what is affordable is off-limits to them because it’s not accessible. Housing advocates say the problem will only get worse, as the rate of disability increases with the aging population.
