Mali Jenkins House, Walsall

Construction has recently started on 18no accessible apartments in Walsall on behalf of Habinteg. Habinteg are a registered provider whose vision is to create communities that include disabled people, offering places to live that meet their needs and provide the highest levels of independence, choice, and control over their daily lives.
These much needed wheelchair accessible homes will genuinely change people’s lives for the better, offering local residents greater opportunity for independent living which they otherwise might not have.
The development will be 100% affordable and every apartment will benefit from level access showers, accessible kitchens / bathrooms, generous circulation areas and step free approach to private amenity spaces.
Work is due to complete Autumn 2024.
