Newly Built WheelPad Accessible Modular Home en route to D.C.

Invited from Vermont to Display at Innovative Housing Showcase

Wilmington, VT —As the opening of HUD’s Innovative Housing Showcase approaches, WheelPad L3C is celebrating the design, manufacture, and shipment of its latest accessible modular home, which will be exhibited at the event. WheelPad’s SuitePAD model home is en route to the National Mall in Washington, D.C., with expected arrival today.

“The need for housing is pressing, and the need for housing that is accessible for those with mobility challenges is critical,” said WheelPad CEO Julie Lineberger. “WheelPad is thrilled to be invited to exhibit a full-sized model of one of our accessible modular homes at this Showcase for the future of housing. It’s always nice to be recognized for our work but it feels especially fitting that the model on the road right now was built by the military veterans on the WheelPad manufacturing team.”

The Innovative Housing Showcase is co-hosted by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). The Showcase is an open-to-the-public event on the National Mall from June 9 – 11 to raise awareness of innovative and affordable housing designs and technologies that have the potential to increase housing supply, lower the cost of construction, increase energy efficiency and resilience, and reduce housing expenses for owners and renters.

WheelPad ‘s SuitePAD home attachment module on display at the 2023 Innovative Housing Showcase demonstrates its award-winning, inclusive, universally accessible housing design. The SuitePAD model is built on a trailer that can be pulled behind a regular pickup truck. The trailer can serve as a foundation for a temporary installation, or it can be installed on a more permanent foundation type.
