ECHO Housing
Taxonomy Code: BH-8400.6000-180
Temporary, movable self-contained housing that enables older adults and people with disabilities who are unable to live completely independently to occupy a second family living unit with a separate entrance on a single family lot, with their own or another family or other caregiver. Installation of an ECHO unit ranges from $16,790 for an elder room (efficiency) to $25,620 for a one-bedroom cottage. The major benefit of the ECHO house is that it enables an older person to live independently and privately in a home of their own, while simultaneously allowing them to live near a caregiver who can maintain their own privacy. Older homeowners who choose to rent out their home and move into ECHO housing are provided with rental income. Their families also save money, as the ECHO housing allows them to substitute family care for more expensive institutional care.
