• Concrete Change
  Concrete Change refers to basic access in all new homes -- so that they are "visitable" by people with mobility problems. Concrete Change is an international effort to make all homes Visitable! To change that reality, three essentials can become routine: one ZERO-STEP entrance, all main floor interior doors--including bathrooms-- with 32 inches of clear passage space, and at least a half bath, preferably a full bath, on the main floor. Constructing homes with these features is inexpensive and easy. But advocates are needed to initiate and sustain the work required to change the status quo.
