Accessibility Is Home podcast: Disability-Informed Real Estate Conversations.
Accessibility Is Home is the podcast about accessible homes, inclusive home design, and private-market real estate for people with disabilities —focusing on the reality that most everyday homes in the United States are not required to be accessible.
Hosted by Angela Fox, blogger and author of My Blue Front Door, the show explores how people with physical, sensory, cognitive, chronic, and senior with disabilities navigate the real estate market to buy, modify, and live in homes that truly meet their needs.
Through conversations with realtors, builders, contractors, developers, advocates, and disabled homeowners, Angela examines real-world barriers in the private housing market and highlights practical solutions such as home modifications, inclusive home features, disability-informed real estate practices, and pathways to accessible homeownership.
Whether you are a disabled homebuyer, family member, real estate professional, or builder, this podcast delivers clear insight into creating and finding accessible homes beyond subsidized programs—where accessibility is part of the home itself, not an exception. Because everyone deserves a home that works.

Today, for black history month, I will be talking about the impact on HOAs have on disable black individuals in homeownership. 60% of newly built single-family homes are part of a homeowners association and selling about 4% higher than those without an HOA, they are probably here to stay. Not only are HOAs here to stay, so is the continued discrimination.
Historically HOAs found their footing in the 1960s as a way for white neighborhoods to prevent people of color from moving in by creating illegal covenants and expensive cosmetic requirements to avoid HOA fines. HOAs continue to impose other ways to discriminate against homeowners of color.
For a person with a disability, HOA can discriminate when a request for an accommodation or modification is made. This episode will discuss what are the differences between accommodations and modifications. You will also learn how to make a request that will increase the chances of an HOA will approve.
