Although market and commercialised factors are important, we cannot be driven by these forces alone as we can lose sight of the actual person and the typical principles and practices of home. Home can become distorted with well-intended system efforts which can further marginalise people with a disability and foster notions of difference. For example, finding a home could become limited to finding a vacancy, an option to “fit” into, congregations of people who share the same diagnosis, a service setting, facility or residential service, a place to live or find shelter or a commercial activity driven by staffing concern, rules and regulations.
