Rejected petition Change age & family restrictions on bungalows in social housing for disabled
Change social housing restrictions on bungalows. People are suffering from age discrimination. Disabled people under 65 are struggling to obtain a bungalow to live in though social housing. Certain social housing don't allow individuals who are disabled to apply for bungalow if they have children
More details
I was knocked back for a bungalow through social housing, based on the fact I was under 65 and had children. I am disabled and have to alter a privately rented house. Luckily our landlord is a very understanding and considerate person. People aren't always that lucky. I want to petition to change this dicrimation against age and personal circumstances.
