Accessibility Is Home podcast: Disability-Informed Real Estate Conversations.
Accessibility Is Home is the podcast about accessible homes, inclusive home design, and private-market real estate for people with disabilities —focusing on the reality that most everyday homes in the United States are not required to be accessible.
Hosted by Angela Fox, blogger and author of My Blue Front Door, the show explores how people with physical, sensory, cognitive, chronic, and senior with disabilities navigate the real estate market to buy, modify, and live in homes that truly meet their needs.
Through conversations with realtors, builders, contractors, developers, advocates, and disabled homeowners, Angela examines real-world barriers in the private housing market and highlights practical solutions such as home modifications, inclusive home features, disability-informed real estate practices, and pathways to accessible homeownership.
Whether you are a disabled homebuyer, family member, real estate professional, or builder, this podcast delivers clear insight into creating and finding accessible homes beyond subsidized programs—where accessibility is part of the home itself, not an exception. Because everyone deserves a home that works.

The month of March has two important dates. March 1st is International Wheelchair Day. March 12th is the 34th anniversary of the Fair Housing Act amendment that made it officially effective that disabilities are a protected basis; no more grace year. Making this month all about wheelchair housing. One of the most fundamental modifications for wheelchair users is ramps. Ramps are more than just for wheelchair users, ramps have been used by the able body community as well.
One of the crucial pieces of information for anyone is how am I going to pay for a ramp? Health insurances, whether private or medicare, are focused on providing necessary medical services. The qualifications to cover ramps have changed in recent years for the better. In this episode, you will learn the following about ramps:
- How to pay for your ramp either through your health insurance or financial assistance?
- What kind of ramps is available for a wheelchair user to gain entry to his or her home?
- How to select the type of ramp?
- How to build a ramp and resources such as Ramps.org
