Accessibility Statement
Last updated: July 6, 2026
Our mission is making homes accessible to people the market leaves out. That commitment extends to this website: everyone, including people using assistive technology, should be able to learn about our programs and reach us without barriers.
Our Commitment
We want every visitor to be able to read this site, navigate it, and use the contact form, whatever device or assistive technology they use. Accessibility is part of how the site is built and maintained, not an afterthought.
The Standard we Build To
This site is built to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. Where we find gaps, we treat fixing them as maintenance, not as a feature request.
What we Have Done
- Semantic HTML with proper landmarks and heading structure on every page.
- Full keyboard operability, a visible focus outline, and a "skip to main content" link.
- Text and background color combinations chosen and tested to meet or exceed AA contrast ratios.
- Descriptive alternative text for meaningful images; decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
- Form fields with visible labels, and status and error messages announced to assistive technology.
- Motion effects that are disabled automatically for visitors who set a reduced-motion preference.
- Responsive layouts that work at strong zoom levels and on small screens without horizontal scrolling.
Known Limitations
Some project photographs are informal, taken on job sites by our crew. We describe them as clearly as we can in alternative text. If a description falls short, we want to know.
Tell Us if Something is Hard to Use
If any part of this site is difficult to use with your device or assistive technology, please tell us. We will fix what we can quickly, and we will always offer the information another way in the meantime, by phone or email.
