Living In Place Institute
Millions of people need accessible housing so they can be independent and safe. Through certification and training programs, we’ll help you build customer trust in this underserved market.
The Accessibility Market
One-Story Construction
Homebuyers are favoring ranch homes without stairs so they can address accessibility as they get older. Colonials and split-levels are harder to adapt.
Multigenerational Living
Buyers seek homes where aging grandparents can live alongside their young grandchildren. Everyone helps, and everyone benefits.
Growing Demand
More than 70% of Baby Boomers say they’re having accessibility issues. Meanwhile, some 26 million Americans must accommodate family members with cognitive and physical disabilities.
