Pushing Open the Door: A Wider Range of Housing and Support Choices for People with Learning Disabilities


Add your own review!

Overview

This report is based on an independent evaluation of the services provided by ""Housing Options"" - an advisory service established to enable people with learning difficulties to access a much wider range of housing choices. Through interviews with service users and providers, and a study of a range of similar projects, the author looks at: who uses the ""Housing Options"" service; people's experiences of using the service, including the barriers people faced in extending choice; capacity building with organizations; key findings and the implications for advice services, commissioners and central government; and wider lessons about the application of supported living. The report argues that supported living involves a wide range of tools and techniques to ensure that the housing and support arrangements are appropriate to the needs and wishes of the individual.
