About us


Habinteg's mission is to champion inclusion by providing accessible homes and neighbourhoods that welcome and include everyone, using our expert knowledge to inspire and influence decision makers.

A third of the homes we provide are designed to meet the needs of wheelchair users and our schemes - from Tyneside to Cornwall - provide sustainable, inclusive neighbourhoods for disabled and non-disabled people to share and enjoy.

As champions of inclusive housing design we engage regularly with policy developments, politicians and other stakeholders to help increase the number of accessible homes built across all sectors.
