Did You Know!? 🏠
Did you know that over 104,000 disabled people across the UK are currently waiting for an accessible or adaptable home, with thousands stuck on local waiting lists right here across Greater Manchester?
Because of the severe national shortage of accessible housing, less than 25% of young adults with severe mobility needs or learning disabilities are able to live independently, leaving hundreds of thousands forced to remain in family homes long into adulthood.
This is why transforming empty high street spaces and brownfield sites into step-free, adaptable homes isn't just about regeneration—it's about giving the next generation the independence they deserve! ♿✨
