Subject: End the National Shortage of Accessible Housing

Dear [MP's Name],

I’m writing as a constituent deeply concerned about the severe shortage of accessible housing in the UK. Right now, too many disabled people are being forced to live in unsuitable, unsafe, or temporary accommodation because truly accessible homes are so rare — and waiting lists stretch for years.

This isn’t just an inconvenience, it’s a matter of health, dignity, and basic human rights.

We need:

✦ Legally binding national targets for accessible housing in all new developments. ✦ Stronger enforcement of the Equality Act 2010, ensuring reasonable adjustments are made. ✦ Better access to funding like Disabled Facilities Grants, without bureaucratic barriers.

I urge you to raise this issue in Parliament, and push for clear, measurable action on inclusive housing. Everyone deserves a safe and liveable home — disability should never mean displacement.

Thank you for your time, [Your Name] [Your Address + Postcode] (to confirm you’re a constituent)
