Housing & Transport

Everyone should have access to an accessible, affordable, and safe place to call home. A good home supports health and wellbeing. It also makes it easier for people to connect with others and take part in community life.

But for many people with disability, safe and secure housing is out of reach. They may face:

• Homelessness or housing instability.

• Poor-quality or inaccessible housing.

• High housing costs.

• Discrimination in the private rental market.

• A lack of social and community housing.

• Pressure to live with people not of their choosing.

• Expensive house or apartment prices.

We believe this must change.

Access to suitable housing should be treated as a human right. People with disability must have the right to choose where and with whom they live.

We call for strong investment in accessible housing — homes that are designed from the beginning to meet everyone’s needs.

JFA Purple Orange partners with people with disability to raise awareness and advocate for better systems. Together, we:

• Meet with government

• Speak with community members

• Write letters and submissions

• Share lived experience stories

• Call for change through policy and media

This work is grounded in dignity, safety, and respect.
