We were honored to attend and present at the Ford Foundation’s Disability Economic Summit at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C.
The Summit brought together leaders from a wide range of fields, all anchored around economic opportunity for disabled people and shifting the norm where disabled people are left out of conversations about our nation’s affordability crisis.
Our co-founder and CEO, Micaela, addressed this directly, sharing our vision to build affordable housing that fosters inclusion for people with and without disabilities across access needs.
We learned from other leaders expanding access in home care, fair wages, entrepreneurship, public benefits, and more. We were also thrilled to be there to celebrate the official launch of Artichoke Credit Union, a first-of-its-kind credit union for people with disabilities!
The Summit was filled with people imagining a future where systems are redesigned to serve the people they are built for. As we build a disability-forward housing future, it was incredible to be surrounded by people who are proving that a better future is possible.
