Doreen’s Stair-Free Escape

After years of struggling with dangerous, steep stairs in her old public housing unit, Doreen White, 68, finally got the accessible home she deserved — thanks to a local news investigation that finally got the Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority to act. Now living in a spacious, ramp-equipped apartment at Grandy Village, she walks confidently with her walker, surrounded by community amenities and peace of mind. Her story is a powerful reminder that advocacy and persistence can lead to life-changing change — and if you’re a resident needing reasonable accommodations, the NRHA is ready to help.
