“I’ve got tons of independence”

Everyday freedom can look different for everyone.

For some people, it can mean making plans, getting out into the community and choosing how to spend their time. The right housing and support arrangements can help make those choices possible.

“Get your own life. Get your own independence.”

The support a person needs will be different for everyone. Having the right supports in place can make it possible to manage your home, take part in your community and live more independently.

The Home and Supports Hub brings together information on housing options, grants and supports for disabled people on their Journey to Independent Living.

“I had all the supports I could ask for.”

Sometimes it takes several different pieces coming together before things begin to feel more settled.

Housing, health, family and other services can all have a role to play. When they are connected around the person, it can make the next step feel more manageable.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the discussions.

Thanks also to everyone who helped us to promote the events.

Last Friday, we welcomed researchers, policymakers and housing practitioners for a day of insightful presentations, discussions and knowledge-sharing on housing research in Ireland.

Through a series of plenary sessions and workshops, attendees explored a range of topics including housing inclusion, systems thinking, data-driven policymaking, housing tenure and future research priorities.

A big thank you to all our speakers, panellists and attendees for their valuable contributions and for making the seminar such an engaging and informative event.

“It made me feel more calmer, more relaxed, that I could stand finally on my own two feet.”

The right support at the right time can make a real difference on the journey to independent living.

Housing, health and other support needs do not always sit separately. Different services and support networks working together can help create the stability and confidence a person needs to move forward.

Independent living is built through collaboration, with the disabled person and the life they want to lead at the centre.
