PWD policy for housing

http://www.pwd.org.au/documents/pubs/AccommodatingHumanRights2003.pdf So once again people like my sister who have very complex needs are being ignored by your firm. 60 pages of what yo want to happen not one mention on how to house complex needs individuals You actively try to close down centres that provide the type of care, support and safety that she, her staff and the general community need without offering any solution. It's shameful. When she was gaol and I turned to PWD for help I was told that you do not provide accommodation that if she ended up homeless it was not an issue for your organisation. If you close down where she can be housed correctly how does that not impact on your civil, moral and ethical stance on helping people with a disability.  It's a bit two faced. You are neglectful of people with high end need. Their true needs never get spoke about in your papers. All you do is try close down their housing without providing another way to provide an accommodation model. The only word that truly defines PWD position on this is neglectful. If you do have a proposal for how to house individuals who have an intellectual disability a variety of mental health disorders and are highly aggressive I am more than happy for you to point me in that direction so I can read what you are proposing. So far what I've found has nothing of that nature in your proposals. Don't you think all other housing models have been tried and failed? One can only conclude that you are actively setting people up to fail by forceabley pushing people who can't live in the community back into it. And ultimely for some of those people back into prison because of their aggression and behaviour disorders. Shame on you. How about fix up the damage that the Richmond report and your constant campaigning has done. How's about you help all the people that slipped through the cracks and ended up homeless or in prison because of their accommodation closing. Get them out of prison an housed correctly. Get your staff to visit the homeless shelters and the canvas the streets and offer housing the those people who ended up homeless. How about you do't create more misery are more people falling through the crack because your firm is two pig headed to see the bigger picture. There is no black and white when housing complex needs people and PWD never see's the big picture or the real issues that some people face. Your proposal is simplistic and excludes our most vunerable.
