You’re invited to attend this in-person event on Housing for People with Learning Disabilities, which will see the official launch of research on supporting people with learning disabilities to rent their own homes.
Taking place on Wednesday, 27th September 2023 from 10:30 - 2:30pm at Oxford Town Hall (St Aldate’s Oxford OX1 1BX)
Learning Disability England worked in partnership with researchers from the University of York and the University of Bristol, Riverside, Housing LIN and Stephen Lee Hodgkins on this research project. The project team also had an advisory group of self-advocates with lived experience from York People First and My Life, My Choice.
