This section is all about the different options you can think about when finding the right place to live.
You can explore the different options using the menu at the top of this page.
You can also find information about housing and your support and advantages and disadvantages of different options.
Your Local Choices
You will want to start by finding out what is possible for you. Some might not be possible for you now because of the area or the money you have.
We have asked some questions in the sections to help you.
Remember it could take time to make this happen or you might decide to live somewhere for a short time and then move.
You can find out more by:
- Asking your local council housing department
- Contacting local housing associations
- Asking the Community learning disability team
- Contacting local self-advocacy and family organisation
Making Changes to Your Home
Sometimes your home may need adaptions to help you live there. For example, handrails or wet room.
If you live in England, Northern Ireland, or Wales, you may be able to get a Disabled Facilities Grant to help with adapting your home.
You must have your landlord’s permission before making any changes.
Check with your local council for more information on the Disabled Facilities Grant.
