Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Graham Honeycutt, Executive Director of Tucker’s House, who highlights the Middle Tennessee-based nonprofit organization and their efforts to provide home modifications for families of children and young adults with disabilities. The organization provides financial assistance, construction management, and functional home modifications, which include making bathrooms accessible, adding adaptive equipment, adding solid flooring, adding ramps and widening entry doors.
During the interview, Honeycutt shares some of the history for the organization and how he and his family were introduced to Tucker’s House and were blessed by the organization’s efforts; and how he now has that same opportunity to help other families, after assuming the role of Executive Director after Founder, Sunny Rosanbalm’s retirement. Honeycutt describes their process and discusses the importance of pairing licensed therapists with architectural designers who understand inclusive design to ensure that the modifications made to a home will serve the children and families throughout their lifetime and assist them every day. As Honeycutt notes, “When the world is not built for your child, your home can at least be a place of respite.” He then shares a story of impact and talks about how the community can get involved to support their efforts.
