AMIDA
Housing - Know Your Rights

FREE information sessions on housing rights for people with disabilities are offered by AMIDA. The sessions use kits which have been developed by AMIDA, an organisation which works at obtaining more housing and better tenancy rights for people with disabilities.

The Stegley Foundation provided the funding for this project.

AMIDA has developed six kits covering different types of accommodation as follows:

FREE information sessions using the kits are available now. People with disabilities usually present the sessions. We have found this to be the best way to inform people who have a disability, especially an intellectual disability or learning difficulties. The sessions take approximately one hour and are both informative and very enjoyable, ending with an open question and discussion time, which is usually a great exchange of information and experiences.

Our information sessions are aimed at people who have intellectual disability or learning difficulties, but are also designed to alert staff to often overlooked points, which are vital for residents to be properly housed and to have their needs met.
