Housing and people with learning disabilities
Conference: Housing and people with learning disabilities
ORT House Conference Centre, London
ORT House Conference Centre, London
Having a settled home is a fundamental human need; yet for people with learning disabilities, access to a range of suitable and affordable housing options is not always straightforward or consistent. A number of housing options exist for people with learning disabilities, yet awareness of how these can be secured needs to be raised.
We are attending and presenting at a conference that will explore how important housing is in creating a whole life and what options exist for tenants or homeowners. The Department of Health and the Valuing People Now team launched the Housing Rights Resource Pack, which covers many topics relating to housing options available for people with learning disabilities. The conference will give an opportunity to consider local authority commissioning, ownership and rented options, tenancy and mental capacity concerns.
