Housing affordability is a major issue. It's where most of the focus is these days. But don't overlook accessibility. The lack of universal access in homes is a really big deal and it affects millions of people... including your friends, families, and neighbors.

We join with @Habinteg @CommonwealTweet @abodeimpact and others urging government to address the need for accessible housing
Research from @abodeimpact which we supported found that 4 in 5 wheelchair users live in unsuitable PRS housing. We echo @Habinteg's call on govt to properly address the chronic lack of accessible housing for wheelchair users. #NationalDisabilityStrategy habinteg.org.uk/latest-news/…

Thank you @TanviVyas @MillieeHawes @nic_bungay @Habinteg @RunnallsJ & everyone who joined our #AccessibleNow channel webinar earlier today. We are still in the pilot phase, but we are hoping that this channel will truly transform access to #WheelchairAccessible #SocialHousing
It was so encouraging to hear from people who understand the importance and value of accessible housing. Happy to see you all and thanks so much for inviting me along @nic_bungay @Habinteg @homefinderuk @RunnallsJ @MillieeHawes @nineshmuthiah

Despite today’s Disability Strategy setting out ambitions to tackle inequality, @Habinteg believe it’s a missed opportunity to make urgent & much needed changes to building regulations: all new homes should be built to #accessible & #adaptable standards habinteg.org.uk/latest-news/…
