They trap people in unsafe homes and strip away independence.

Housing isn’t truly accessible if maintenance isn’t.

Accessible housing changes lives. A new microhome village is helping adults with developmental disabilities live independently while staying connected to community supports. Everyone deserves a place to open the door and say, "Welcome Home." #AccessibleHousing #IndependentLiving #CommunitySupport

Accessible housing means ground-floor living when needed, not eliminating stairs.

Homes should be built so people can age, recover, or live with disability without being forced out of their community.

This isn’t radical.
It’s realistic. #AccessibleHousing #Disability #Elder #Access #Accessibility

Inaccessible housing pushes disabled people and seniors into institutions, not because they need care, but because housing failed them. #AccessibleHousing #DisabilityRights #Accessibility

Labour U-turn on accessible housing betrays disabled people Labour has cut new-build accessibility targets, abandoning disabled people and reversing progress on accessible housing standards.

Think #AccessibleHousing is costly? It is far more expensive, extensive, environmentally wasteful, and disruptive to renovate inaccessible spaces. Save money in the long run by building with #accesibility from the start.

Tile that says “Human rights” on the left with construction blueprints as the decorative background. On the right with three smiling elderly women cooking in a kitchen.

Both housing and accessibility are fundamental human rights. On #NationalHousingDay we are highlighting the importance of #AccessibleHousing – so that every person with a disability has an accessible, affordable and safe place to live.

Opinion: New national housing push offers the chance — and an obligation — to get it right The federal government must rise to the challenge and build a generation of homes that are adaptable to everybody’s needs for the long run.
