Reviews

"""A key weakness in the literature on housing and 'difference' has long been the lack of a thorough and systematic overview of contemporary housing and disability concerns. This important book tackles that gap, and is likely to prove essential reading for a wide range of practitioners, researchers and students."" Malcolm Harrison, University of Leeds ""This book raises important issues and concerns about current housing policies and practices encountered by increasing numbers of disabled people. It is essential reading for students, researchers, policy makers, professionals, disabled people and disability organisations."" Colin Barnes, University of Leeds"
