Perhaps the witnesses would expand a bit more on the following. They talked about housing with the capital assistance funding scheme. It was said there are issues with the schemes there. Will the witnesses outline in more detail what the issues are and how they could be addressed in making sure there is a disability focus for approved housing bodies? I ask for more detail on the following as well: that the funding is sufficient and timely; the approved housing bodies adhere to universal design when designing and building houses; there is engagement with DPOs at all levels from approved housing bodies; and that there is rights-based model in developing housing for people, and supports.
