Research: Accommodation and supported housing for people with learning disabilities and autistic people
The Learning Disability and Autism Housing Network (LDAHN) and the Housing Learning and Improvement Network (Housing LIN) are working together to undertake research about supported housing for people with learning disabilities and/or autistic people in England.
The purpose of this research is to produce an accurate evidence base about supported housing that can be used by the LDAHN to inform and influence future Government policy in relation to supported housing for people with learning disabilities and/or autistic people, including that which is classified as ‘exempt accommodation’.
As part of this research we will be inviting housing providers to complete a survey about their provision of supported housing for people with learning disabilities and/or autistic people in England. The survey will go live during July. All responses will be confidential to the Housing LIN. A report of the research will be published by the LDAHN and the Housing LIN in the autumn containing ‘aggregate’ data, i.e. it will not identify individual housing providers.
We are keen to identify organisations that provide supported housing for people with learning disabilities and/or autistic people so we can invite them to complete the survey.
If your organisation provides supported housing for people with learning disabilities and/or autistic people (and you are not a Registered Provider of social housing) please get in touch with us to let us know:
- Your organisation’s name
- A contact person and their email address
