Black, Disabled & Leading the Way in Real Estate – Meet the Wheeltor Part Two

Saison 5 · Épisode 3

jeudi 27 février 2025 • Durée 41:32

Send us a text

In Part 2 of our conversation with Lamont McLeod, The Wheeltor, we dive deeper into how he’s transforming the real estate industry for the disability community. As a Black real estate broker and wheelchair user, Lamont is a disruptor in an industry that has long overlooked accessibility. He shares how embracing his identity not only strengthened his brand but also challenged outdated industry norms.

Angela and Lamont discuss the challenges of marketing accessible homes, the hesitation among realtors to engage with disabled buyers due to redlining fears, and the glaring gaps in DEIA efforts when it comes to disability-inclusive real estate. Lamont explains why major platforms like Zillow and Redfin fail disabled home buyers, and why social media has become his most powerful tool for connecting people with accessible homes. They also explore how universal design could reshape housing development and why the real estate industry must do more to include disabled professionals.

This episode highlights why accessibility is a racial and economic justice issue. By elevating the conversation around disability and homeownership, Lamont is not only changing the market—he’s creating opportunities for future Black realtors, developers, and homeowners with disabilities.

🎧 Listen now to hear how The Wheeltor is making real estate more inclusive and why DEIA leaders should take note.

This week, we take you on an enlightening journey through the world of accessibility and home design for individuals with dementia and Neurodivergent disabilities. Jonathan Katz joins us to untangle the complexities of accessible design in kitchens and bathrooms. Together, we dig deep into the innovative solutions that can improve usability in the kitchen - from induction stoves to smart fridges.

How often do we think about the dimensions of our refrigerators? Probably not as often as we should. Listen in as Jonathan highlights the disadvantages of most current refrigerator designs, and how shallower and wider fridges could better serve those who struggle with remembering what's in their fridge. We then pivot our discussion towards accessible housing and the remarkable history of disability in Jewish tradition. Jonathan shares riveting insights about how this influences perspectives on food and the crucial role accessible public restrooms play in religious inclusion.

As we move towards the latter part of our conversation, the focus shifts to creating dementia-friendly spaces at home. Jonathan guides us through a plethora of home design features, from slip-resistant surfaces in bathrooms to the merits of single-story homes. We also explore how community design elements can provide additional benefits and how accessible housing expands options for those with disabilities. Wrapping up, Jonathan leaves us with invaluable resources for those looking to age in place or create a dementia-friendly home. Don't let this engaging discussion pass you by - join us as we bridge the gap between accessibility and home design! Below are a few of the discussed resource.

For National Disability Employment Awareness Month, join us for an enlightening conversation with Adith Thummalapalli, an ingenious engineer with a disability who guides us through the complex maze of housing accessibility. We examine the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Rehabilitation Act Section 504, and the Fair Housing Act, spotlighting their shortcomings when it comes to private residences.

In the second segment of our discussion, we champion the incorporation of accessibility in housing design. Discover how a simple tweak like introducing sliding pocket doors or gradual inclines can revolutionize a home's accessibility. Hear the inspiring story of a housing developer who took the initiative to include these features in their floor plans. As we draw the curtains on this episode, we turn to accessible home ownership for people with disabilities. Learn how resources like HorizontalHouses.com can aid you in this journey and why it's imperative to voice your accessibility requirements. We underline the significance of connecting with the disability community, sharing collective experiences, and raising the standard for disability home ownership.

Learn how the state of Maryland is one of the best states for disability homeownership. Intrigued? Join me, Angela Fox, in this insightful discussion as we debunk the conventional reliance on the HUD 203K Rehab Loan and spotlight the unique benefits and flexibility of the Home Ability loan program. This isn't just about borrowing up to 95% of a home's value or the deferred zero-interest rate loan for closing costs, it's about broadening horizons and championing inclusivity in housing for the disability community at the state level. We'll also be delving into the significance of the Rehabilitation Act, a cornerstone civil rights act that has been instrumental in enforcing accessibility in federal programs and resources as it celebrates its 50th anniversary.

But that's not all. As we navigate through the maze of property tax credits, we'll explore the potential of the Design for Life program to incentivize housing developers to build accessible homes. We'll also bring into focus the bold mandate of the Universal Design Housing Act in Prince George's County and its target of making 50% of private housing accessible by 2026. How crucial is an inclusive universal design workgroup comprising individuals with vast experience in accessible housing and an understanding of the intersectionality of different disabilities? We'll answer this and more. You won't want to miss this comprehensive conversation that underscores why Maryland is a beacon of hope in housing accessibility for people with disabilities.

Wet Rooms: Game Changer for wheelchair users

Saison 2 · Épisode 5

mercredi 14 juin 2023 • Durée 33:50

Send us a text

What if you could transform your bathroom into a fully accessible space without sacrificing style or functionality? Our knowledgeable guest, Karin Wilson, shares her experience and insights on accessible wet room showers and how they have changed her life. As a power wheelchair user with cerebral palsy, Karin has lived in multiple accessible homes and has even designed her own functional wet room showers, allowing her to shower comfortably and conveniently. Karin is also a travel blogger and has created valuable Disability Tool Kits on a variety of topics available at freewheelingtravel.org

Join us as Karin describes the concept of a wet room—a space with multiple drains and tile throughout the room that enables people to shower on the toilet and have cabinetry nearby that is not in the way of the shower. We discuss the trial and error process of designing and remodeling accessible bathrooms, the various types of tiles and drains that can be used, and the importance of ensuring the surface is non-slip and using a linear drain to maintain a traditional bathroom look.

Finally, Karin shares valuable tips on finding contractors who understand the concept of wet rooms and universal design and the cost of creating a wet room. We also touch on the programs available to assist in the cost of home modifications, like Medicaid and Vocational Rehabilitation. Listen in as Karen shares her journey of creating accessible bathrooms and the lessons she has learned along the way, and discover how accessible wet rooms can be a game-changer for wheelchair users.

Epsd #3 of Season 2: 2 SheHeros in disability housing

Saison 2 · Épisode 3

vendredi 31 mars 2023 • Durée 15:51

Send us a text

For Women's history month, this episode will talk about 2 SheHeros who made an impact on accessible housing and beyond for the disability community; Judy Heumann and Eleanor Smith. Mrs. Heumann was considered the godmother of the disability rights movement and recently passed away. She along with Ed Roberts, helped initiated the Independent Living Movement; providing the foundation for an accessible environment and housing. I talk about the privilege I had in meeting her during the last six months of her life.
Mrs. Eleanor Smith created the retired organization, Concrete Change which focuses on incorporating three elements into new home construction for accessibility. Her organization and efforts helped create the Visibility Movement; the idea that homes owned and homes visited, should be accessible for the disabled community.
There is much more to be done in private sector housing to increase accessibility, affordability, and homeownership for the disabled community. Listen for five things that you can do to be the next SheHero or SheHero alley!
