Disabled Persons Housing Service Aberdeen

DPHS Aberdeen is a local charity offering housing advice, information and advocacy to disabled people, their families and carers. Based in Aberdeen the Disabled Persons Housing Service is constantly developing its services.

Accessing suitable housing can be challenging for people with a disability. Our staff can provide guidance and advice on the options available locally and direct you to relevant agencies further afield.

Our team can assist you over the phone, via email, can visit you at home or in hospital or other care facilities. We recognise that with a disability it isn’t always easy to come to our office so we will work around what is best for you.

We can help you to:

• Look at all your housing options – we have lots of local knowledge and good relationships with housing providers.
• Apply for social housing with Aberdeen City Council and Registered Social Landlords locally
• Help you ensure you give all the necessary information and evidence for your applications to be assessed appropriately
• Support you to request a re-assessment or review if your circumstances change
• Give advice on how to access assessments for Occupational Therapy, care services or telecare and other equipment.
• Assist you to access adaptations to your current property to enable you to remain there
• Signpost you to money and welfare advice services
• Advice on housing law and your rights
