In many cases, REACH has adapted the homes to assist the aging tenants with their mobility issues by <br />widening sidewalks, adding railings inside and outside the home and in one home, converting a tub into a walk-in shower. <br />Report 2 <br />As noted in Report 1,REACH is experiencing a trend of younger adults seeking to live independently.
