Housing: Expectations and outcomes for young adults with learning disabilities

The research practice partnerships have produced short evidence briefings in response to questions raised by partner agencies

Housing: Expectations and outcomes for young adults with learning disabilities

Key messages:

  • Young adults with learning disabilities want to have choice and control over where and who they live with.
  • Young adults and their families want to be supported through services that prioritise their goals and aspirations, with clear, honest, and timely information about the processes involved.

Reflective questions:

  • What support and information is available in your organisation for young adults and their families around housing options?
  • How can you ensure that the views of young adults and their families inform how housing is commissioned or recommissioned?
