The apartment industry has developed an effective means to connect individuals with disabilities with apartments that have been designed for them, or adapted to meet their needs. With all of life's challenges, the National Accessible Apartment Clearinghouse (NAAC), believes that finding a place to live should not be one of them.
The NAAC (www.accessibleapartments.org) maintains the ONLY national database of accessible apartments, with a registration of more than 80,000 rental apartment homes in 50 states. It is a vital resource for the more than 19 million Americans who have some type of mobility impairment and has become an excellent vehicle for apartment owners and managers to effectively market their accessible apartments and reach their target audience. In an average month, NAAC receives 300 to 500 phone and/or e-mail requests from potential renters and more than 8,000 searches on the Web site per month.
All NAAC services are FREE, thanks to sponsorships and in-kind contributions from the National Apartment Association, the National Multi Housing Council, and the Virginia Housing Development Authority. These contributions allow residents and housing providers to use the Web site at no charge.
