Habinteg's draft Disability Equality Scheme and Action Plan as required under the Disability Discrimination Act 2005 is available to download here.
The Housing Association Guide to Disability Equality Schemes and Action Plans publication and our online resource, the Habinteg Disability Equality Centre, are also available to advise other housing associations on equality issues.
Habinteg's aim is to provide homes that are accessible, adaptable and affordable.
We have more than 30 years experience in housing and disability and we use our expertise to create neighbourhoods that allow everyone to live independently, whatever their age, impairment or cultural background.
We work closely with other housing providers and key agencies and campaign for accessible housing and inclusive design, so as to move towards a society without barriers for disabled people.
The social model of disability is crucial to every aspect of our work: we believe people are disabled by barriers in society and negative public attitudes, rather than by their own impairments.
We also treat the diversity of our own employees as a vital resource, and use their experience and skills to help us in our work.
We believe that disability is a mainstream issue, and that by providing housing that can be used by all people, whether disabled or not, we can help to create a truly inclusive society.
