New Housing LIN guest blog shares a talk delivered at Housing 2023 on wheelchair accessibility
Written by Joan Rutherford, Chair of the National Network of Older People’s Housing Champions, this Housing LIN guest blog is based on a talk delivered at Housing 2023 in Manchester and reflects on a 2022 Big Disability Survey by Greater Manchester Disable People's Panel.
Joan also highlights the unmet need for wheelchair users to have the same opportunities as non-wheelchair users to buy their own homes, while sharing some of the creative strategies employed to overcome this.
