The housing grant system is failing people with MND. They’re stuck in homes they can’t move through, unable to wash, cook, or live independently. Adaptations like ramps and lifts are integral to living with dignity but the grant system that should deliver these adaptations is failing.
Our new campaign is calling on councillors to introduce a motion to ensure their housing assistance policies and processes provided a fast, effective service including a formal fast track policy.
As an MP, your support can help ensure that no one with MND is left without a safe and accessible home.
