    HCD Leadership is excited to announce its first webinar of 2025:

    Universal and Inclusive Design Standards for Housing

    Join us for an insightful webinar exploring the origins of universal design and the role that universal/inclusive design is playing in housing today. The continued growth in the number of older adults in the US won't peak until after the middle of this century. This has caused advocates, designers, and policy makers to reconsider housing accessibility provisions that were derived in the 20th century (responding to the surge in the numbers of people with disabilities) and to look anew at improving the range of housing options for older adults across all housing typologies. This session will explore the sometimes-confusing nomenclature of universal design and will look at innovative design approaches in the multifamily sector as well as 1-3 family housing. 

    Speakers: Richard Duncan, MRP, Executive Director, UDI & BLD and Erick Mikiten, AIA LEED-AP
