As more people choose to age in place, and as people with disabilities face challenges functioning independently in their homes, impediments to living safely in our communities must be removed. People with multiple sclerosis (MS), older adults and others with disabilities need resources that will assist them in making their homes safe and accessible or the opportunity to purchase a home that is fully accessible. Having a livable home will help people with MS remain independent, active members of their community for as long as possible.
