Hi! I'm Rohan (they/them) @rohanfoxart.bsky.social and I'm one of the members of Citrus housing co-op. I'm disabled, neurodivergent, queer, and trans. I'm unable to work and so have been reliant on the UK benefits system my entire adult life. 1/

Invest in homes for disabled folk!

Citrus Housing (aka Tai Sitrws, in Wales) is a fledgeling housing co-operative. We are buying houses in Manchester and Swansea, and adapting them. All of us are disabled, most of us are queer, and many of us face other kinds of oppression.

We had an excellent Radical Routes gathering, met lots of excellent people, and had many excellent conversations.
