**About us**

The Housing Hub was created in 2017 with a goal to support people with disability to find suitable and quality housing. Thousands of properties across Australia are currently listed on the Housing Hub website, making it easier for housing seekers to find the right home. Finding the right home can be a long and complicated process, so we’ve created an online community where housing seekers and housing providers work together to develop a market where people with disability enjoy choice and control.
