Our Tenants

Young Habinteg tenants

Habinteg provide homes and neighbourhoods that everyone can live in and enjoy, whether they are disabled or not.

Many of our tenants are not disabled, but if they happen to develop accessibility needs in the future, our Lifetime Homes standards mean we will be able to adapt their homes to their changing needs.

Already 42% of social housing households have a member who is disabled or who has a limiting long-term illness (MORI/Housing Corporation 2001). Reduced physical ability increases with age and by 2031 it is estimated that 25% of the population will be over 65 (National Statistics Social Trends 2003). Building to accessibility standards is becoming a social imperative, an issue that must be addressed by housing providers now.
