If you are a housing association tenant I would suggest emailing in asking if they are currently building homes and if so how many will be for disabled tenants. At best it may give you an early heads up of something in the pipeline so you can ask how to apply for one. Otherwise it would give them the heads up that these type of homes are needed.
As an individual I stood alone.
As a member of a group I did things.
As part of a community I helped to create change!
