ILCHV can assist consumers in assessing the accessibility of their home or other places they go, providing guidance on how to increase accessibility. Staff also work with other community agencies, schools, businesses, houses of worship, cultural institutions and other facilities that seek to create a welcoming space for all. In addition to providing information on how to make the space accessible, in some circumstances staff can assist in identifying resources to support purchase of equipment or construction costs.
To find out more information about architectural barrier removal, call ILCHV and ask to speak to Karen Garofallou, Director of Programs and Services.
