The mission of the coalition is to advocate for all homes in the county (renovations as well as new construction,) to be comfortable, safe, and convenient; and that they enhance the independence of residents of all ages, sizes and abilities.

We will accomplish this by:

• Promoting universal design through county sponsored community educational opportunities, events, and online resources, available in English and other languages for residents, architects and builders.
• Reviewing housing construction requirements to identify and rectify barriers to universal design. 
• Providing educational tool kits for building permit applicants and designating a county universal  design information specialist to assist residents.
• Including in the Board of Supervisors’ legislative agenda, a proposal to amend the Livable Homes Tax Credit to increase the per capita dollar amount for making homes more accessible.

The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors has stated a commitment to promote housing that will benefit all citizens for years to come.
