National Council on Disability to Make Recommendations on Livable Communities for Adults with Disabilities at Congressional Briefing

WASHINGTON--The National Council on Disability (NCD) will release its report Livable Communities for Adults with Disabilities at a Congressional briefing on December 2, 2004, from 10:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. in Room HC-8 of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. This event is free of charge and open to the public.

During the briefing, NCD will share some of the key findings and recommendations from the report. A panel of distinguished experts will provide their reaction to NCD’s report, and discuss the implication of their own organizations’ work in the area of livable communities.

NCD is co-hosting the release of this report with the assistance of the House Bipartisan Disability Caucus and the House Livable Communities Caucus. The report articulates the elements of a livable community for adults with disabilities, highlights existing examples of livable U.S. communities in the United States that can serve as models, and describes how communities can develop and sustain their livability features.
