Passive House Project Will Benefit Disabled Adults Updated: Mar 22
The $15 million building in Maine will use smart-home technology
A Maine-based non-profit is collaborating with a national affordable housing advocate to develop a Passive House certified apartment building for disabled adults.
The $15 million project, which will be built to standards of the Passive House Institute U.S., will feature what developers called smart-home technology allowing residents to live as independently as possible.
The announcement came from 3iHoME, whose goal is to create independent living opportunities for disabled adults—an underserved group that has particular trouble finding affordable places to live. Its partner, Preservation of Affordable Housing or POAH, is a national non-profit based in Massachusetts that owns 13,000 affordable housing units in 11 states.
