Disability Day at the Capitol
Last month's article summarizing Disability Day at the Capitol
was a consolidation of press releases provided by Sharon Rolenc,
Public Awareness Director for the Brain Injury Association of
Minnesota, and Steve Larson, Executive Director for the Arc of
Minnesota. The consolidation was performed by Lance H. Hegland
based upon information contained within those press releases.
Thank you, both!
Accessible Housing
In last month's Access Press, the statement was made
that there is an "inadequate supply of accessible housing for
people with disabilities in Minnesota." While there may be new
construction that does not meet principles of universal design and
older units may be inaccessible, there is some lack of information
about demand. One of the goals of HousingLink's accessibility initiative
is to determine what the supply and demand is like in the Twin Cities
metropolitan area.
