Large numbers of people feel confined in their own homes. They are unable to get into their showers, ascend steps, open doors or pass through doorways. More importantly, many are unable to flee their homes in an emergency without assistance because their residences are not properly designed for their specific needs.
Freedom by Design™, the AIAS community service program, utilizes the talents of architecture students to radically impact the lives of people in our community through modest design and construction solutions. Vital modifications are made to enhance the homes of low-income elderly and disabled individuals by addressing their struggles with everyday tasks such as bathing, ascending stairs and opening doors. Our priority is improving the safety, comfort and dignity of the home’s occupants.
This blog is our way to keep our community involved and informed. It is also our way to express gratitude to those who is helping us through this process.
