Yachad’s Ramp it Up! was a great success. 19 local teens came together to build a large access ramp for an affordable cooperative in NE Washington, DC. Thanks to their hardwork, we were able to make four apartments accessible for low-income residents in wheelchairs. The hard working teens not only learned about how to use power tools, but they also learned about accessibility issues and the struggle of people with low-incomes. This project was funded by the National Fair Housing Alliance and was supported by Ilan Scharfstein, Alan Kanner and Added Dimensions, Louis Tenenbaum and Yachad.
