Certification
Myth: To be accessible you need to add a lot of universal design elements to your home.
Fact: Adding a long list of accessible design elements may not be practical, but a few critical features may make sense.
Architects, builders, developers and others constructing multi-building projects can apply for Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze Program Certification. These levels are based upon the number of units or projects completed that have achieved Level I (VISITable) or Level II (LIVEable) Accessibility Standards. Participation in the certification program is voluntary.
We calculate the level of certification based upon the number of units achieved, as follows:
Platinum
Certification
Platinum requires at least 30% of the single-family residences built in the project meet Level I or Level II.
Gold
Certification
Gold requires at least 25% of the single-family residences built in the project meet Level I or Level II.
