Black History Month and handicap homeownership

Accessibility Is Home podcast

In this special episode of the Accessibility Is Home podcast, we examine in honor of Black History month, what experiences might people with disabilities who are African American have when exploring their homeownership opportunities. Specifically through the eyes of the fabulous Ms. Candace Joseph, host of the “Business Knowledge Broker Hour” Radio show tells her own experience of looking for housing as an African American before becoming a member of the disability community. She then also talks about her experience of needing to buy an accessible home in Texas later in her life. Ms. Joseph and I also swap stories about real estate agents, house hunting experiences, and what wheelchair housing requirements we both have looked into.
The robust and honest conversation is only the tip of the sword. Our message can only be heard through a large choir shouting the need to make homeownership for people with disabilities on “the table” for the housing industry. If you are a person with a disability and a person of color that has a homeownership story to tell, please reach out to me so our voices are much louder.
If you have any surveys about the intersection between disabilities and other minority groups regarding homeownership programs, please email me at; [e-mail]
If you are anticipating beginning to look for a handicapped home and you would like some guidance, please visit my blog www.horizontal-homes.com or purchase my book on Amazon, “My Blue Front Door.”
