Affordable housing is vital for the independence and dignity of adults with disabilities. It provides more than shelter; it offers the freedom to live on their own terms. However, barriers like financial challenges and limited accessible housing make achieving independence difficult. Organisations like JESPY House are crucial, offering affordable housing and supportive services to help individuals thrive. JESPY House fosters an inclusive community, helping adults with disabilities build skills and confidence for daily life, employment, and broader societal engagement. This episode explores the importance of affordable housing and the work of advocates like Audrey Winkler in empowering adults with disabilities.
