Lots of Hope (LOH), a new project starting in Pennsylvania works with homebuyers to build homes that are designed to meet high standards for accessibility, energy savings and the use of smart technologies. All LOH homes come standard with a universal design floor plan, an accessible bath, a security system and a zero level entry. Whether you’re young, a senior, a first time homebuyer, or a family who has a child or parent with special needs, an LOH home will help support a more independent lifestyle for everyone in the home.
