Housing and Learning Disability: Transforming care and support

Commissioned by the National Housing Federation (NHF), this report presents analysis on the need for supported housing, including housing for older people, in England to 2040 and the cost of meeting this need in terms of development, rent, service charges and support.

Research published by Learning Disability and Autism Housing Network and Housing LIN provides the most up to date information on the size, scope, cost, support and importantly future needs of supported housing in England for individuals with a learning disability and autistic people.

This report, jointly written by the Housing LIN and Learning Disability England, outlines the key results from research conducted into the housing circumstances and opportunities for people with a learning disability and/or autism. 

The Housing LIN has signed up to this important concordat and is committed to publish information that support our members to provide good quality care across health, housing and social care.

The Valuing People Team at the DH and Housing Options have produced a concise toolkit for councils and providers to help plan and commission wider housing choices for people with a learning disability.

This report commissioned by Mencap and written by the Housing LIN, provides a useful insight into Specialist Supported Housing by drawing on examples of good practice that can inform the debate around funding for supported housing into the future.

Jointly by NHS England, the LGA and ADASS, this new housing guidance supports NHS and local authority commissioners to expand the housing options available for this group of people who form part of the Transforming Care Programme.
