"I am making monthly repayments, with interest, for the ability to shower in my own bathroom and reach my own garden."

In a new blog for Accessible Homes Week, Habinteg Insight Group member, Luis Canto E Castro shares how, despite being an accessibility consultant by profession, he was twice refused funding for essential home adaptations and ultimately had to take out a loan to make his home accessible.

Luis's story is a powerful reminder that accessible housing isn't just about buildings. It's about independence, dignity and ensuring disabled people aren't forced to shoulder the cost of access alone.

❤️ 🏡 “I just wanted to go home.”

After a life-changing health incident, Habinteg Insight Group member Mike Nevin could no longer access his home safely. His hospital discharge was delayed, and he eventually had to move across the country to find a home that met his needs.

In his recent blog for Accessible Homes Week, Mike shares his experience and explains why accessible homes are so important for independence and quality of life.

How can we make sure more people have a home that meets their needs? 💬

🏡 An accessible home helped Habinteg tenant Michael Firth bring his family back together.

After becoming the legal guardian of his three children, including wheelchair user Suzie, Michael found an accessible Habinteg home in Bradford where they could all live together.

“It was the best Christmas present I could have ever received. I got my family back in a home that was safe and suitable for all of us.”

Our latest report found that almost a third of people living in unsuitable housing constantly worry about whether their home is suitable for their loved ones.

Chris Selway, 59, is a semi-retired teacher and wheelchair user, lives with his wife and their teenage daughter in a 1960s semi-detached bungalow in south Gloucestershire.

Over the past 14 years, they've spent over £120k in savings, installing a range of adaptations, including an accessible bathroom, so that Chris can use his whole home.

🏡 Are people starting to think differently about accessibility when choosing a home?

Our latest survey found that 25% of people say accessibility and adaptability will be a high or top priority when choosing their next home. That’s up from 17% who said it was a high or top priority when choosing their last home.

This suggests accessibility is becoming more important when people think about where they’ll live in the future. But are our homes keeping up with changing expectations and needs?

🏡 It’s , and we’re looking at why accessible homes matter as we get older.

Our latest survey found that only 28% of people aged 55–64 are confident their home would let them live independently at 80 without adaptations.

In his blog, Jeremy Porteus, Chief Executive of the Housing LIN, explains why accessible and adaptable homes matter for people’s lives, not just the cost of housing and care.

💬 What would help more people live independently as they age? Share your thoughts below.

We often think about health in terms of hospitals, GP appointments, medication or exercise. But what about our homes?

For Lauren Walker, Professional Practice Manager at the Royal College of Occupational Therapists, where we live can have a huge impact on our health, independence and everyday life.

In her latest blog for , she explains why housing and health can’t be treated as separate issues. If we want people to stay well and independent for longer, our homes need to support their health too.

“I’m a 30-year-old wheelchair user, and I’m facing the possibility of a 20-year wait for a wheelchair-accessible home.”

“I’m worried I’ll spend decades trapped in bed, watching my life disappear while I wait for somewhere I can live with safety, independence and dignity.”

Young disabled people, like Suffolk resident Laura, need accessible housing as much as older disabled people. Laura, 30, has been waiting for a wheelchair accessible home from her council for over a year and a half.

In her blog for Habinteg's , Laura explains how difficult daily life has become for her, living in a home that’s too small to fit her wheelchair in, and asks why there isn’t more accessible housing ringfenced for younger disabled people.
