How can we ensure that our housing system fully supports the goal of promoting independent living?

Question

How can we increase the supply of affordable and accessible homes, including promoting home ownership amongst disabled people?

Between 1997 and 2004, the numbers of homeless households considered priority due to ‘physical disabilities’ increased by 24 per cent and due to mental health problems by 65 per cent.

In England, people with impairments and long term health conditions are more likely than others to be living in housing that does not meet the ‘decent homes standard’.

Only about half of disabled children live in suitable housing and 70 per cent of families with a disabled child say their housing is unsatisfactory.

23 per cent of disabled adults are living in unsuitable housing.

Many disabled adults living in institutional settings, supported housing or with relatives, are unable to establish sufficient ‘points’ for social housing, preventing their move to independent life.

Answer 1

ensure that all public houses are all inclusive friendly get the architects to design housing that is accessible to all..

Answer 2

Boy don't you like to quote percentages !!!
Are you sure about "your stats" !!! if so how !!!!!

I think you'll find that in this country our great tax dollars and a great deal of donated money goes to helping the disabled !!

Have you lived with a disabled person that has no family to help ?? ( I doubt it )

There are a great many agencies and every day people doing this so I suggest that you get off the computer and get to Volunteering !!!

That's how you/we can help, don't even just sit back and complain about it get up and make a difference!.
