Abstract This thematic issue explores the intersection of disability, housing and community while focusing on the importance of inclusive societal foundations. Embracing the social model of disability, it argues that barriers within the physical and social environment hinder independent living. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCPRD) emphasizes the importance of appropriate accommodation and community living for disabled individuals. Housing policies, reflecting demographic shifts and rights to independent living are crucial. The text explores the varied needs of individuals with disabilities, from sensory limitations to mobility impairments, highlighting challenges faced in housing design and accessibility. Strategies for effective space management are discussed, emphasizing the need for universal design principles to create accessible living environments. Furthermore, the paper suggests home modifications tailored to specific needs, such as adapted kitchens and clutter-free spaces, to enhance safety and functionality. By integrating these approaches, societies can strive towards a more inclusive built environment, ensuring the autonomy and well-being of individuals with special needs.
