Habinteg updated its forecast for accessible homes in 2025, assessing 311 local plans for policies setting requirements for a proportion of homes to be built to higher accessibility standards and finding that only 208 had them.

Since 1970, Habinteg Housing Association’s thoughtful designs have enabled tenants to achieve and sustain independent living. Habinteg has over 3,300 homes across 86 local authorities. One in three of our properties are designed specifically for wheelchair users, and the majority of our homes are built to an accessible or adaptable standard. We champion inclusion by providing and promoting accessible homes and neighbourhoods that welcome and include everyone, while using our expert knowledge to inspire and influence decision makers. We apply our expertise to challenge negative social attitudes, promote the rights of disabled people and improve accessibility standards within housing. We are also a disability confident employer that stands for equality of opportunity.
