The draft housing strategy for people with a disability sets out a framework for the proposed delivery of housing for people with disabilities through mainstream housing policy. The strategy has been developed in conjunction with a National Advisory Group, chaired by my Department and involving the Department of Health and Children, the HSE, local authorities, organisations representing people with disabilities and other relevant stakeholders, including the National Disability Authority.
The draft housing strategy is at an advanced stage and I intend, with my colleague the Minister of State for Disability, Equality and Mental Health, to complete this work and to seek Government endorsement for the strategy before the Summer.
