Attached to this e-mail you will see a listing of the accessible apartment/homes that hove been collected so far in the Hampton Roads area by our Housing Sub-Committee.
There is a "short" listing done in Microsoft Excel and a more detailed listing done in Microsoft Word (if you need the file done in a different format let me know).
We are still collecting listings and you will see from the web site listed below (http://apartments.hamptonroads.com/) that we have just found one that could be a great source.
