What We're About

The Housing Committee (HOC) will focus on the ongoing need for the modification of existing buildings and will encourage local builders to design and build homes that allow people to age in place and provide for full visitability by persons with disabilities (PWD's).

With more member involvement, we can do more. Our Committees always welcome new members who share CWD-O's mission and values. We meet as needed, using the IDEAL online conferencing system.

If you are new, you will need to complete and send us a Membership Form(compressed Word document, 17kb) and email to membership@cwd-o.org. CWD-O membership is still free.
