The all-party Levelling Up, Housing and Communities Committee of MPs is looking into housing for disabled people. 

It’s considering how the government, local councils and developers can ensure disabled people have access to housing that is suitable for their needs, and the committee is seeking feedback via an online survey.

A statement says: “We are interested in hearing your experience of finding or adapting suitable accessible housing. We are also interested in hearing your views of what more could be done to improve housing provision for disabled people. The responses to this survey will inform the Committee’s final Report. The survey is anonymous and respondents are discouraged from sharing identifying details.” 

There will also be opportunities to share experiences in person with the Committee at what are called “engagement events” and anyone interested in being considered to take part, should leave contact details at the end of the survey. 

It takes around eight minutes to complete the survey, with a closing deadline of 5pm on February 15.

The survey is here.
