Marketing to tenants with Disabilities

[Larry Smet]

Does anyone know if there's any organizations that assist people with disabilities find properties modified to accommodate them? Or alternatively if there's a targeted place to advertise?

We have a 2-flat (duplex) in Chicago where we modified the ground floor unit to be accessible (wider doors throughout, roll-in shower, etc.) when we did the rehab - a competitive advantage since almost all multifamily properties in Chicago have steps leading up to the first floor and can't be modified that way.  

Ideally we would find a Section 8 tenant or one who is subsidized through an organization that assists people with disabilities.  Thoughts?
