Housing options for disabled people
We work to increase the availability of housing for people with disabilities through effective allocation of our properties, adapting properties to meet particular needs and by maximising design for our new homes.
We work with a number of partners to offer more housing choice, flexibility and control to disabled people and their families.
Approximately 25% of our properties are fully accessible. Although our wheelchair standard properties are advertised through choice-based letting systems, like our general needs properties, we also operate a lettings plan to ensure applicants circumstances are fully taken in to account and in order makes best use of these properties.
Home2Fit
We support the Glasgow Centre for Inclusive Living’s development of Home2Fit, a national online database and self-help resource to assist disabled people to find suitable housing.
It allows disabled people to search and match what they want with what's available and make contact with housing providers who have accessible homes in their area of choice.
Open Market Shared Equity
Link Group manages the Scottish Government's Open Market Shared Equity scheme which helps people on low to moderate incomes who want to buy a home but are unable to meet the full price.
One of the priority groups for this scheme are people with a disability whose current home no longer meets their housing needs.
