Opening the Door Project

The Opening the Door project aims to support people with disability to achieve choice and control with their housing options, including through:

• Developing and sharing online resources. You can access these from other project pages on the Opening the Door website drop down menu. You can find some useful resources here.
• Forums designed to both share information and gather experiences
• Support existing and establish new peer networks.

Opening the Door Forums Schedule

Forum dates are listed below, with some details being finalised. By attending the Forum events, it is hoped that people with disability and their families will:

• Develop a shared understanding of housing – both regarding opportunities, and barriers that need to be addressed
• Identify different housing and support options that are available, while recognising the current challenges.

All people are welcome to attend the Online Sessions.

Face-to-face Workshop Sessions are intended for people with disability, their families/ friends/ unpaid, carers and any support needed to attend.
