Exploring Housing Choices: Navigating the Path to Universal Design and Community Integration

"Are We There Yet???" is a thought-provoking symposium addressing the dichotomy in housing choices - ordinary life options vs. segregated, specialized ones. It highlights the importance of Universal Housing Design, allowing people to live freely and inviting others into their homes. This discussion focuses on negotiating complex service systems, overcoming restrictive policies, and embracing multiple life options. By fostering an environment where experimentation is possible, communities can adapt to changing needs and preferences, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to find their right path.
