    Project Open House removes architectural barriers in homes for disabled New York City residents. This program enhances accessibility and quality of life through occupational therapy and home modifications.

    Area of Science:

    • Community Health
    • Occupational Therapy
    • Housing Accessibility

    Background:

    • Architectural barriers significantly limit independence for disabled individuals.
    • Low-to-moderate income disabled New Yorkers face challenges in accessing home modifications.
    • Existing housing stock often presents accessibility issues for people with disabilities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the Project Open House program and its role in improving home accessibility.
    • To highlight the collaborative effort between community organizations and city agencies.
    • To assess the cost-effectiveness of home modifications for disabled individuals.

    Main Methods:

    • Occupational therapists conduct home and client needs assessments.
    • Prescription of structural modifications and adaptive equipment.
