Housing

Finding suitable and affordable housing is a battle for many people on low incomes. Being a parent with a disability and dependant children is a real challenge! If you need modifications done to your home because of your disability, then you may need advice on what assistance is available. This section lists some services that can help you get the accommodation you need.

Public housing waiting lists are long, forcing many people into the private rental housing market. Private landlords are reluctant to rent accommodation to people with children and even more resistant to permanent modifications to residential premises that will be costly to alter after the family moves out. If you are a tenant you have certain rights. If you think your rights have been violated, you should complain.
