Housing matters - National evidence relating to disabled children and their housing (Paperback)

Housing has always been center stage in terms of community care for adults. Yet the housing needs of disabled children and their families have only recently been acknowledged. Housing Matters, published in association with the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, presents evidence to support and inform change in policy and practice to ensure that the housing needs of disabled children and their families are better met. The report challenges traditional notions of housing need, calling for a reconceptualization that embraces all impairments, focuses on child-centered needs and extends beyond the "four walls" of the family home. The findings of the report are discussed and interpreted within the context of current policy and practice. Housing Matters is an invaluable resource to practitioners and managers working in health, social service and housing departments and the voluntary sector; housing providers; architects; local councilors; and those with responsibility at a national level for meeting
