Accessible Housing for Independence

Two new accessible dwelling units, called PADs, are rolling out in Shoreham to empower adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities to live independently—thanks to WheelPad’s innovative, wheelchair-friendly designs and support from the Counseling Service of Addison County. These compact, functional homes let residents manage daily life on their own, offering dignity and autonomy as they transition from family homes. With funding from the state and growing advocacy, this project tackles a critical housing gap, where many adults with disabilities currently rely on aging parents. Looking ahead, new legislation aims to expand housing options through dedicated advocates, increased funding, and rental assistance—proving that collaboration and invention can transform lives.
