New SHA goal -
263 accessible housing units
SEATTLE—November
30, 2007—A
total of 263 dwelling units will be built or remodeled
over the next eight years to be fully accessible to
people with disabilities. Seattle Housing Authority
has agreed to reach this goal by 2014 in cooperation
with the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.
This will result in five percent of SHA's housing units
being accessible under Uniform Federal Accessibility
Standards. According to Executive Director Tom Tierney,
“This is a good outcome for SHA and for disabled people
in Seattle.”
