Abstract:

This report, A Blueprint for Action, was developed from the background papers written on the four themes, discussions, and working groups at this second conference on Home Modification Policy held on April 22-23, 1996 in Wasington D. C. This report includes a discussion of barriers and recommendations for national, state, and community change. Its use is intended to increase the availability and affordability of home modifications for individuals of all ages. A Blueprint for Action reflects the diverse perspectives and approaches of the many experts who have contributed to the conference and the papers. Most importantly, A Blueprint for Action is an action plan for promoting home modifications through coalition building and sustained and coordinated activities.
