    Abstract
    The notion of “home” remains a significant issue for younger adults with complex physical and cognitive disabilities. Many people experience a lack of housing choice and the dwellings individuals typically come to reside in are often unsuitable. That is, they fail to meet the person’s physical, psychological, social, and emotional health needs. This research proposes a detailed examination of innovative and viable housing design for younger adults (between 18-65 years of age) with complex disabilities. For the first time, it will offer a much needed and comprehensive understanding of housing priorities and preferences ...

    The notion of “home” remains a significant issue for younger adults with complex physical and cognitive disabilities. Many people experience a lack of housing choice and the dwellings individuals typically come to reside in are often unsuitable. That is, they fail to meet the person’s physical, psychological, social, and emotional health needs. This research proposes a detailed examination of innovative and viable housing design for younger adults (between 18-65 years of age) with complex disabilities. For the first time, it will offer a much needed and comprehensive understanding of housing priorities and preferences from the unique perspective of the individual (person with injury/illness and their carers). Importantly, the housing priorities identified are conceptualised in relation to broader contextual determinants of health and wellbeing (i.e., the person’s physical, psychological, social, and emotional health) to ensure innovation does not compromise quality. This work will therefore enable housing authorities and agencies to design and develop a range of innovative, market-relevant housing solutions that are not only based on consumer needs and wishes, but are also conducive to a person’s wellbeing.
