What part of The Kelsey’s mission are you proudest to be part of / support?
The part of The Kelsey’s mission I am proudest to support is its commitment to creating housing that is both inclusive and accessible. I admire how The Kelsey goes beyond simply providing housing by working to build communities where people with and without disabilities can live together with dignity, independence, and belonging. Being part of a mission that challenges traditional barriers and reimagines what true inclusion looks like is especially meaningful to me.
What does it mean to you to be Disability-Forward? Why does it matter?
Disability-Forward means putting disabled people first in everything we do. We do not just follow basic laws. We build homes and communities by listening to people with lived experience.This matters because everyone deserves a good home. When we design for disabled people, we make the world better for everyone.
