Summary
The fundamental objectives for Universal Design (UD) are to address housing for a population facing financial and physical challenges. 

Houses developed through this program are intended for a wide range of occupants including all ages and physical abilities.  To best meet the needs of our St. Louis residents, the Affordable Housing Commission requires all new construction built using the program to comply with basic minimum Universal Design concepts and techniques.  Projects incorporating additional universal design elements may be given extra support and consideration.
