Their goal is to make ALL new homes visitable by everyone. For them three essentials must become routine:
--One zero-step entrance, at the front, back or side of the house.
--All main floor doors, including bathrooms, with at least 32 inches of clear passage space.
--At least a half bath, preferably a full bath, on the main floor.
Builder by builder, city by city, policy by policy, the change is already beginning to happen in parts of Arizona, Texas, Illinois, Georgia and many other locales.
