The Housing Authority of the City of Loveland (Colorado) in collaboration with local contractors, have completely remodeled a low-income home (1244 Garfield Ave.) inside and out, to be fully-wheelchair accessible. This is a ‘trail-blazing’ project using local business and community resources, to benefit low-income individuals who have severe physical disabilities.
