Disability Connect

Finding a home for a disabled person and their families is often daunting and challenging.

Disability Connect’s Disability Housing Navigation Service, unique to New Zealand, is operating primarily in Auckland. Led and staffed by disabled people and their parents, the free service provides an advisor to support disabled people and their families to research, broker and look for a suitable place to live, increasing their capability and capacity to navigate their current and future housing needs.

Through this mahi our Community Housing Collective is advocating for the needs of disabled people and their families including central and local government agencies and housing stakeholders.

We are happy to collaborate with anyone to support the voice of the disabled and their families for better housing.

Please email [email protected] with the word ‘housing’ in the subject line.
