Housing LIN and Learning Disability England: working together to improve housing choice and control

The Housing LIN is very happy to have partnered with Learning Disability England (LDE) to ensure that both of our networks have access to the latest and most relevant information and resources around housing for people with learning disabilities and autistic people.

As part of this partnership, we're keen to highlight LDE's Learning Disability and Autism Housing Community of Practice (opens new window), which brings together people with lived experience, families, professionals and commissioners to share knowledge and shape better housing options. The Community of Practice hosts a growing bank of resources (opens new window), and membership is open to anyone who wants to stay up to date on this area.

A key resource for Housing LIN members is LDE's Housing Guide, which sets out practical information to help people with learning disabilities, their families and commissioners understand and navigate the housing options available to them.

Gary Bourlet, Membership and Engagement Lead at LDE, said:

"Housing LIN has been a long-term supporter of Learning Disability England, and we have worked closely together on several projects over the years. Most notably, working in partnership to produce resources for people, families and commissioners to help give people with learning disabilities more choice and control around where they live. Learning Disability England values its ongoing relationship with Housing LIN, as we work together to share knowledge, ideas and expertise across both networks."
