A Place To Belong And Thrive

Accessible Properties know what a difference a good home makes. They are a social and disability housing provider committed to providing housing that meets tenants’ needs and tenancy services that support long-term successful inclusive living in a community.

They care about people and their right to a good life. Accessible Properties believe that the quality of the homes that they provide should be fit for purpose, warm, dry, safe, secure and in a well-functioning community. This is fundamental to people’s wellbeing and their life chances.

Accessible Properties are continually looking to match their tenants with the homes that will suit them best. They use their expertise to build and modify homes for an aging population, people with disabilities and can accommodate changing housing needs.

Accessible Properties aims to help their tenants feel settled in their homes and more connected with their community. They are interested in the communities in which their houses are located, their tenants and their families’ access to services, and their opportunities to be included and participate in the communities in which they live in. Accessible Properties will engage with their tenants as appropriate to ensure that they are able to access support services such as, budgeting and financial assistance, employment support, mental health and disability services.

Accessible Properties are focused on achieving the best outcomes for their tenants. This goes well beyond the interests of a private landlord or property investor. For many people they provide hope in the form of a warm, dry, secure home that enables people to stabilise this aspect of their lives and build a platform for their future.

Accessible Properties is a proud member of the IHC Group of charities.

They continue to have a strong expertise in disability housing with many of their tenants throughout the Accessible Properties and IHC portfolios having a physical or intellectual disability or mobility issues requiring accessible properties or modifications.
