The nine-unit affordable housing project in Roxbury, MA is complete. Kim Beasley, who consulted on the layout of the wheelchair-accessible unit, walks through the house with Bob.
Bob reviews the home's great new accessible kitchen, with its energy-efficient appliances installed to allow a wheelchair user to get cooking.
Bob also tours the Roxbury project's other finished units, and meets George Evans, who learns he is about to become the accessible unit's new owner.
