Expand Your Markets with Accessibility
Although the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law 33 years ago, the rental housing industry continues to struggle with moving beyond the legal compliance of checking the accessibility box. By reframing the lens of accessibility, our industry has a chance to expand our markets, innovate our communities and provide housing solutions that yield higher ROIs. Let’s have an open discussion, led by our expert panel, about the best ways to leverage accessibility and inclusion as competitive advantages. We’ll also examine our implicit biases during the decision-making process from the top down and find ways to budget for change while mitigating risk and liabilities.
