We are a passionate team who aim to support people with disability to live a life of dignity in the way they choose.
The Housing Hub was created in 2017 with a goal to support people with disability to find suitable and quality housing, and to support the efficient operation of the disability housing market. The Housing Hub was created as an initiative of the Summer Foundation and now operates under a social enterprise model.
