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.  

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.

For more information on the scheme and how to apply visit  Link's website.

Adapting your home

We have a commitment to adapting homes so a greater number of disabled and older people can remain in their homes or become independent in their community.  If you are a Horizon tenant we may be able to arrange to have your property adapted to meet your needs.
