Personal Impact
Life & Work
Older renters are at risk of falls but often cannot make modifications to their homes without landlord approval. The bill includes the Department of Housing and Urban Development on the advisory committee and housing assistance experts among its non-federal members, which could lead to recommendations that address renter-specific barriers to home safety modifications.
