Housing Justice is finally in the news yet the voices of people with a disability are still absent from much of the discussion.

This month the team revisit a program featuring stories from the group about living in institutions, group homes, squatting, SRS's and CRU's; and how we are now all living independently. We want people to know that people with a disability should not have to live in these institutions, group homes, SRS's and CRU's.

This show is run by: Shona and Chris, from 'Have A Say Bendigo' a self advocacy group run by and for people with an intellectual disability in Bendigo.James, Heather and Aunty Jane, from 'Reinforce' a self advocacy group run by and for people with an intellectual disability in Victoria.
