Project Open House provides for the removal of architectural barriers in the homes of disabled low and moderate income New York City dwellers. This program was developed as a cooperative effort between United Cerebral Palsy of New York City, Inc., the New York City Mayor's Office for the Handicapped, and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. Project Open House operates as follows. An occupational therapist evaluates both structure dwelling and client needs; this information is used as a basis for the prescription of structural modifications and equipment that will allow increased physical accessibility. On completion of the prescribed work, the therapist trains the individual and family in the use of the modifications. Project Open House and Family Support Services are community programs that provide a cost-effective method for improving the quality of life for disabled individuals and their families.
“开放之家项目”旨在消除纽约市低收入和中等收入残疾居民家中的建筑障碍。该项目是由纽约市联合脑瘫协会、纽约市市长残疾人事务办公室和住房保护与开发部共同合作开展的。“开放之家项目”的运作方式如下：职业治疗师会对住宅结构和客户需求进行评估；这些信息将作为规定结构改造和设备配置的依据，以增加身体活动的可达性。在规定工作完成后，治疗师会对个人和家庭进行改造设施使用方面的培训。“开放之家项目”和家庭支持服务都是社区项目，它们为提高残疾人士及其家庭的生活质量提供了一种经济高效的方法。
