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 home

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 family

Multigenerational Living

Buyers seek homes where aging grandparents can live alongside their young grandchildren. Everyone helps, and everyone benefits.
