DPHS(F) is a new organisation dedicated to providing information, advice and
support for disabled people either living in, or wanting to live in Fife, who have particular housing needs or issues.
The service is independent and user-led with a Board made up with 50%+ disabled
people at all times.
We are funded via a variety of sources including local statutory organisations
and charitable trusts and in this way remain independent of any services we may liaise with.
We believe that everyone has the right to quality, affordable and accessible
housing. DPHS(F) will give disabled people the chance to consider, at their own pace, housing options that are
right for them.
We will talk to disabled people, get to know their housing needs, learn about
the current housing situation then discuss with them the possible solutions. The service is free to disabled people.
- Would you like to talk to someone about your housing needs?
- Keen to have your details added to the Disabled Persons Housing Register?
- Interested in being involved in our future planning?
The Disabled Persons Housing Register is an active register of disabled people
seeking housing. The DPHS(F) will consult with each person on the register to better match vacant properties with the
profile of needs and preferences unique to each disabled person.
A Housing Options Register is currently being developed and will be a detailed
computer based information system on all current and planned housing stock including accessible, barrier free and supported
housing across Fife.
Resource Library. We are also building a resource library of information
related to housing that our clients can access via our usual contact routes.
The cheerful and willing help of our volunteers enables us to deliver our service
better. Would you like to volunteer? Get in touch so we can give you more information and pass you a recruitment
pack!
