Presents a study into the housing experiences of black and minority ethnic disabled and D/deaf (disabled deaf) people. Through focus groups involving BME disabled and D/deaf service users and their carers and statutory, public and voluntary sector service providers it explores: how disabled and D/deaf people from BME communities access appropriate housing; the disadvantages and barriers participants identified as preventing them from securing suitable accommodation and services; the key issue of whether their needs are best met by responding to them as a distinct group – as opposed to perceiving them simply as members of ‘BME’ or ‘disabled’ communities; and opportunities for conferring greater choice and control to BME disabled and D/deaf people

Presents a study into the housing experiences of black and minority ethnic disabled and D/deaf (disabled deaf) people. Through focus groups involving BME disabled and D/deaf service users and their carers and statutory, public and voluntary sector service providers in the London Boroughs of Brent, Camden and Waltham Forest, it explores: how disabled and D/deaf people from BME communities access appropriate housing; the disadvantages and barriers participants identified as preventing them from securing suitable accommodation and services; the key issue of whether their needs are best met by responding to them as a distinct group – as opposed to perceiving them simply as members of ‘BME’ or ‘disabled’ communities; and opportunities for conferring greater choice and control to BME disabled and D/deaf people.
