Change age & family restrictions on bungalows in social housing for disabled

Petition Details

Change social housing restrictions on bungalows. People are suffering from age discrimination. Disabled people under 65 are struggling to obtain a bungalow to live in though social housing. Certain social housing don't allow individuals who are disabled to apply for bungalow if they have children

Additional Information

I was knocked back for a bungalow through social housing, based on the fact I was under 65 and had children. I am disabled and have to alter a privately rented house. Luckily our landlord is a very understanding and considerate person. People aren't always that lucky. I want to petition to change this dicrimation against age and personal circumstances.
