Access Ability 16+ years Auckland - Auckland
The purpose or thinking of the time was to support disabled people and their families/whanau to pursue meaningful lives and to recognise that the NASC process would have a far-reaching impact on their ability to do that. Both Lorna and Jan were working within provider organisations at the time, CCS Bay of Plenty, and Community Living Trust. A nominal capital was raised, together with the donation of personal resources, including two foundation Board Members, Kaye Taylor and Peter McRae. During this time, the Access Ability Board was very much a working Board, with the ongoing development of the company and the preparation of proposals being undertaken by Jan and Lorna, together with financial and accounting input from Kaye. Community Living Trust also allowed Access Ability to contract a portion of Jan’s time to act as Managing Director during these formative years.

Housing New Zealand Ltd.
Housing New Zealand Corporation is a Crown agency that helps New Zealanders access housing. Services include the provision of good quality affordable rental homes and assistance to purchase homes for low income earners or those with special housing needs. Housing New Zealand is also the principal advisor to the Government on housing.
For people with physical disabilities who require modified housing Housing New Zealand has an advisory service called 'Suitable Homes'. To access this service the person needs to live in New Zealand, have a long term disability and require structural modifications to the home. The person does not need to be a Housing New Zealand tenant - it can be their own home or a rented home. The service also helps people with physical disabilities find homes that suit their needs. If modifications are required or the person needs to move to a new home an occupational therapist will assess the persons needs in relation to housing. If the person is eligible for funding through MOH or ACC the occupational therapist will make an application for housing modifications. The occupational therapist will also provide information on other sources of funding if the person is unable to afford the cost of modifications.
