New accessible housing for Hawke's Bay

From Afternoons, 1:10 pm today

A shortage of accessible housing meeting the needs of those with disabilities has left more than 25 Hawke's Bay residents living in ages-care facilities. 

The waiting list is long, so this issue won't be going anywhere unless addressed now. 

Thankfully, Enliven Disability is charging forward with the construction of a built-for-purpose apartment complex to help ease the pressure.
