In the spirit of Kelsey’s favorite sign ‘more,’ our work builds positive change by aiming for more: More housing opportunities for all people. More connected communities. More resources for innovation and impact. More ground-breaking partnerships to realize more vibrant communities with opportunities for everyone.

Stories and News

There are four million adults with disabilities whose sole source of income is Supplemental Security Income (SSI). They are priced out of every housing market in the country and would have to spend 125% of their entire income to afford basic housing.

Created in partnership with architects, designers, and disabled advocates and informed by The Kelsey’s housing pipeline, The Housing Design Standards for Accessibility and Inclusion aim to equip developers, builders, and designers with guidelines and frameworks for disability-forward housing creation.
