Details:
- In July, Royal Oaks Building Group began building a new handicap accessible home for a disabled veteran and his family as part of Operation: Coming Home II (http://www.operationcominghome.com/) in its Southern Oaks community in Fuquay-Varina in conjunction with TREACV and the Raleigh/Wake County Home Builders Association. The home will be donated to the Marine and his family on Nov. 4.

- The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law by Congress in 1990 to prohibit discrimination based on disability. The legislation also sets design standards for public and private facilities and housing, in an effort to better accommodate individuals with disabilities.
