Developer outlines accessible unit and ADA features in Welcome Home Ohio project

Sep 16, 2026

The developer said the Welcome Home Ohio project will include one single-floor ADA-accessible home with expanded kitchen and bathroom, ramped site access (no podium), and a ground-level porch oriented to the green space; commission accessibility representatives pressed for clear details.

The full story

David McNelly, chair of the accessibility and advocacy committee for the city’s disability commission (speaker 4), asked for specifics about the accessible unit. Joe Richie (speaker 7) described the accessible unit as roughly 1,300 square feet, single-floor and fully ADA accessible, with larger kitchen and bathroom footprints and ramped access so the unit does not require a podium entry.
