Chris Smith, a 48-year-old who became paralyzed due to an infection, has been living in a care home for five years while waiting for wheelchair-accessible housing. Despite being on the priority list for a property, he feels isolated and out of reach from friends and family. Similar struggles are faced by others, including Emma Donaldson, who after eight years on a waiting list, has settled for a non-ideal home, and Nathalie Cain, whose daughter requires a safer living environment. Advocacy groups emphasize the urgent need for more accessible housing solutions.
