FINDING OUR OWN WAY HOME: A BIG CONVERSATION

To coincide with this research, the Housing LIN and Learning Disability England also organised 4 events last year to better understand the housing preferences, opportunities and challenges finding the right housing people with a learning disability face and how these can be overcome. 

The findings of these events have been written up into a report called 'Finding Our Own Way Home: A Big Conversation' (opens new window).
