Not only did they win the Most Innovative Home Ownership Solution they also secured the Overall Winner Award! Pictured above is Julie Leyton, Advance Housing's Chief Executive, Chair Melba Wilson, Director of Housing Ian Gilders and former Chief Executive Stuart Rigg who was instrumental in getting HOLD (Home Ownership for people with Long-term Disabilities) off the ground in 1997.
The Award judges noted that "HOLD is a scheme that the judges would like to see rolled out across every town and city in the UK" and that it "goes way past innovative and straight to inspirational", sentiments that we here at MySafeHome heartily echo.

We are delighted to announce that Share To Buy, the country's leading property portal for Shared Ownership homes, now has a dedicated hub for people with disabilities.
This month we were delighted to have been invited to participate in a podcast hosted by Lisa Brown from Supported Living Property.
We don’t believe that the recently proposed benefit changes will have a significant impact on any of our home owners, as they all have lifelong disabilities and have already been assessed as being unable to viably work in paid employment.
