Housing: Publications and Resources

Summary: The Disabled World collection of housing-related articles and papers covers accessible living solutions, home modifications, grants, and legal rights. Topics range from smart home technology for individuals with mobility challenges to affordable housing programs for seniors. Some publications provide practical advice, while others offer research-backed insights or peer-reviewed studies. There are practical guides from government housing programs like Section 504 to in-depth articles on accessibility challenges and discrimination in rentals. You'll find topics like home modification costs, home buying, financial aid, home loans, veteran housing benefits, and legal rights under the Fair Housing Act. These resources help individuals, families, caregivers, and professionals stay informed about inclusive housing options, assistive technology, and policies that impact daily living and independence.
