Case Study
Housing and accommodation needs assessment for people with learning disabilities in West Wales to 2037
Client
- West Wales Care Partnership
Our role
- undertaking an housing and accommodation needs assessment for people with learning disabilities in West Wales to 2037 (opens new window)
Objectives
- West Wales Care Partnership (WWCP) required an assessment of the housing and accommodation needs amongst people with learning disabilities across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire over the next 10-20 years.
- WWCP wanted a quantitative housing need estimating model that they could use and refine as circumstances change over time.
Impact
- We developed a quantitative evidence base that can be used as one source of evidence of future housing need amongst people with learning disabilities alongside other sources of data available to WWCP such as qualitative research with people with learning disabilities and their carers.
- A housing need predictor model that can be used and refined by WWCP over time. This has been applied to generate an assessment of future need within Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire.
