Visit our website to explore our four objectives: accessible housing, employment opportunities, free accessible transportation, and a supportive community that empowers tenants with physical disabilities.
Our communities won’t be just another place to live, they will be a complete living experience.
Every day, Access for Opportunity receives requests from people who are desperately trying to find their way to independent living.
Here are some of their true stories:
Jane
Jane is 34 years old and due to a difficult birth lives with cerebral palsy. Abandoned by her family at birth she has only known life in foster homes and institutions where she was abused physically, mentally and sexually. Jane is currently living in a nursing home.
Billy
Billy sustained a spinal cord injury in a motor vehicle accident at 19. He is living his life as a quadriplegic and has spent the last 28 years in a nursing home. An associate of Billy’s contacted AFO in their futile search for affordable wheelchair accessible housing.
Stephen
Stephen, 28, sustained a spinal cord injury when he was 22 and is now a paraplegic. Living with his parents in a home that is not wheelchair accessible, Stephen is forced to bathe, toilet, and sleep in the living room with very little privacy.
Paul
Paul is 46 years old and was recently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and will need to use a wheelchair full-time in the near future. Divorced and with no children he is alone and currently homeless.
