The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 made public spaces more accessible, but many of the civil rights law’s regulations don’t apply to residential housing. There are about 61 million Americans with disabilities, a number likely to increase as people age. This group, on average, has lower incomes and are more likely to experience homelessness and housing insecurity than people without a disability. Finding adequate housing in a competitive market is complicated for people with disabilities because choices are limited. There are far fewer units available that are both accessible and affordable. When Jones moved to Rochester from Florida in 2015, she could find only two apartments that fit her both her budget and accessibility needs. She ended up having to settle for the more expensive option by default.
