LGA Accessible Housing Review West Mids

This LGA case study features a review commissioned to support WMCA’s aim to deliver better quality housing for disabled people with the goal of reducing health inequalities in the region, as part of its wellbeing delivery priorities.

Undertaken by Habinteg and the Centre for Accessible Environments, they worked closely with WMCA to analyse:

  • the accessible housing offer across the seven WMCA member local authority areas
  • current and projected demand for accessible homes
  • the efficacy of housing services and support systems.

The resultant report aimed to make the case for embedding inclusion and accessibility more deeply into WMCA’s housing strategy, helping to close the gap in health and housing inequalities across the region.
