Cost & Practicality of Home Modifications

Remodelers and aging professionals have been concerned with improving the delivery of home modifications services to older adults. Because many older consumers are not familiar with their remodeling options, they may not receive the most practical and cost-effective home modifications. To address these issues, a roundtable was convened to bring together remodelers, aging professionals, government representatives, and consumers to exchange concerns and to develop strategies for coping with the issues they identified. The roundtable, sponsored by the NAHB Research Center in cooperation with the U.S. Administration on Aging, was convened at the Home Builders Association of Greater Chicago in July 2001. This report consists of a white paper that was distributed to participants prior to the roundtable, as well as a summary of the roundtable results. Read the report's Executive Summary .
