My Blue Front Door will inspire anyone with a physical impairment to become a homeowner. Homeownership it is not only possible, but necessary for both your health, freedom, and equality. What if this means you can't qualify for financial help? What if you can only afford to buy the home but not the home renovation? Unlike other disability housing books, this book fills in the gap of the disabled working class and answers these questions.Angela Fox, a civil rights attorney by trade and borne paraplegic, covers multiple resources for buying a home and modifying it to meet the needs of the disabled homeowner. But more importantly, as a wheelchair user, she will share her personal struggles in buying her first home in the mist of the United States' Great 2007 Recession and shows how she successfully overcame financial and discrimination constraints. She debunked the false belief that a home, whether an apartment or a house, truly provides the community of choice simply because it displays a blue and white handicap sign. Hence the idea of My Blue Front Door was created.
