Important Considerations
- Applicants for MaxHousing buildings must be people with physical mobility disabilities. We require that applicants provide the name and contact information of a medical doctor who can verify their physical mobility disability and need for accessible housing.
- Applicants must be over age 18.
- Other than design accessibility and rental subsides, MaxHousing does not provide special disability-related services at its communities. This means that the tenant, either alone or with outside assistance that the tenant arranges, is responsible for securing meals, maintaining and cleaning their unit, personal assistance needs, emergency response, paying their rent, etc.
