Welcome to the Housing Technology Resource Center

This site provides assessment tools, resources, and guidance to support the use of assistive technology, smart home technology, and home modifications that promote independence, safety, and community living for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and other disabilities.
Resources are organized around a step-by-step roadmap that guides users from identifying needs and assessing the home environment through solution planning, implementation, and outcome evaluation.
This project was funded by the New York State Council on Developmental Disabilities (CDD) and developed by the Westchester Institute for Human Development (WIHD) in partnership with three New York State TRAID Program sites:
  • Southern Adirondack Independent Living (SAIL)
  • Staten Island Independent Living Organization (SILO)
  • Center for Assistive Technology at the University at Buffalo (CAT at UB)
