The Access Home is a new social enterprise established by Ade and Linda Adepitan, motivated by their personal struggle to find a wheelchair-accessible family home. Their years-long search exposed significant gaps in the housing market for people with mobility needs, prompting them to create a solution that helps others avoid similar difficulties.
The enterprise focuses on three core areas: making accessible housing easier to understand, find, and create. By providing clear information and resources, The Access Home aims to demystify the process of locating suitable properties. It also connects individuals with accessible homes and works to increase the supply of such housing through partnerships and advocacy.
As a social enterprise, The Access Home prioritizes social impact over profit, reinvesting any surplus into its mission. This model ensures that the organization remains dedicated to serving the disability community and addressing the systemic shortage of accessible housing. The Adepitans' initiative highlights how personal experience can drive innovative, purpose-led business solutions.
By leveraging their platform and expertise, Ade and Linda Adepitan are not only raising awareness but also actively working to create a more inclusive housing market. Their efforts demonstrate the potential of social enterprises to tackle pressing social issues while maintaining financial sustainability.
