BOSTON --- A state web site has been redesigned to make it easier for people with disabilities to find accessible housing. Located at www.massaccesshousingregistry.org, the new site features vacant and wait list information for affordable rental housing in Massachusetts, including housing for those with disabilities. The site also provides the ability for property managers and landlords post available rental units. "This is a win-win for consumers looking for housing that meet their needs and for housing owners and managers who want to rent their units as quickly as possible," said Tina Brooks, the state's undersecretary for housing. The online registry is funded by the state and the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission. It is managed by the Citizens' Housing and Planning Association.
