DPHS works with each person as an individual case to match their needs with available housing. DPHS was originally started with the Wheelchair Housing Group (WHG) which was controlled by people with disabilities along with professional people with appropriate skills and sympathetic to the aims of the WHG. The group was started to assist people who were in need of wheelchair accessible housing in the community.
