Analyses the provision of housing for disabled people in both its historical and ideological contexts. While the recent extension of part M of the Building Regulations to dwellings by the government represents significant advance towards the inclusion of disabled people, the authors argue that the shift in funding of public housing from a 'bricks and mortar' subsidy to Housing Benefit potentially creates greater dependency. It is argued that if this issue is not addressed disabled people will continue to remain excluded, albeit within accessible dwellings.
