Finding somewhere to live

Optivo and Housing & Care 21 are both housing associations that offer longer term housing solutions for people with learning disabilities, at Dymond House, and Travers Court.

For a more short term solution, or to learn independent living skills, Supported housing can be looked at as a solution. 

Sutton Supported Living Team provides support to people with learning disabilities living in their own homes. It has produced a booklet for people with learning disabilities, about the different types of housing you can live in.
