New Wheelchair Liveable Home Form
May 19th, 2021
For the first time, a wheelchair user in Ireland can apply for a wheelchair liveable home on their housing application. The new application form – from the Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government – was published last month and acknowledges the need for wheelchair liveable accommodation to be included as a requirement. The Irish Wheelchair Association (IWA) has begun a campaign to encourage its members – and anyone with a disability who feels they will have social housing needs in the future – to make sure they are included in local authority plans. You can read more in this RTE article which features MDI member, Aoife McNicoll.
