Are there any communities specifically to help disabled people find each other so that they can buddy up and find private sector housing together?

    Hi @MicMac that's a really good question! I've not heard of this before and can't find anything specifically for this, but I wonder if there are any local community groups you could join and maybe get to know other people locally and go from there? 🙂

    I'm kind of shocked that nothing like this seems to exist already.

    I guess local community groups are the only option for now.

    Same! It's a really good idea.

    See my post recent post on Habinteg.. And Homefinder..

    When you say 'buddy up' do you mean house sharing for convenience or finding a partner to move in with?

    @JW77 Thanks. Interesting article.

    And yeah, I was talking about house sharing for convenience. Finding someone like-minded who needs the same kind of home adaptations would be very cost-saving, and make life a lot easier.

    Its something worth looking into - but certainly in depth.

    House sharing/dwelling sharing is never straightforward. People fall out, or landlords may want to sell up (assuming its a private dwelling) , or people are not what they seem (and yes even disabled folks)..
