Tenant stories
Having an accessible home that's right for the needs of the people who live there can be transformative. Here's a selection of our tenants sharing their stories of how their accessible home has improved their life.
Ian Wheaton
Ian's story
I moved to a wheelchair accessible bungalow in Raynville Crescent from a medium-sized housing estate in Leeds. I was on Leeds City Council’s housing list for 5 months, my application was a priority due to ill health. I’m a pensioner with multiple sclerosis and I live on my own. The estate was quite outdated and it was difficult to get out of my front door.

Petula Bone's #ForAccessibleHomes story
Petula and Geoff's story
When keen gardener, Petula Bone moved into a new Habinteg’s latest scheme in Rawcliffe Grove, Hull, she was able to use her green fingers for the first time in 10 years thanks to her brand-new wheelchair accessible home. Steps at her previous home meant Mrs Bone, a wheelchair user, could not get to her garden. Now, her home, which she shares with her husband, is a wheelchair accessible bungalow fit for her mobility needs.
David Slater's new Habinteg home story
David's story
I moved to a wheelchair-adapted Habinteg flat in Houghton Regis. I was living with family in London before this flat came up, but now I can live independently. However, I didn’t have all the key pieces of furniture, including a washing machine... until a friend told me about Habinteg's White Goods & Furniture Fund (part of the Tenant Support Fund) for tenants.
