History
Dwellability started as an idea between two friends with disabilities over a cup of coffee. Why did it have to be so hard to find a safe, appropriate place to live or visit? It was dreamed about creating a way to connect people across the full spectrum of disability because as a community, Dwellability knows people with disabilities are a powerful force, but society simply isn't meeting the housing needs
