Supported Housing
Specialist Accommodation for People with Learning Disabilities and Autism
At Second Chance Housing, our Supported Housing schemes are designed around the needs of individuals with Learning Disabilities and/or Autism, providing safe, stable accommodation alongside regulated care delivered by our trusted CQC-registered care partners.
We provide the housing — they provide the care — working closely together to create holistic, person-centred support.
🧩 Who it’s for:
Adults aged 18+ with a diagnosed learning disability and/or autism
People eligible for support under the Care Act 2014
Individuals requiring supported living placements where housing and care are provided separately but collaboratively
🏡 What we offer:
Specialist, adapted housing in community settings
Single-occupancy and shared flats depending on assessed need
Environmental adjustments (e.g., low-stimulation spaces, safety adaptations)
24/7 property maintenance and housing management
🤝 How it works:
We partner with regulated care providers who deliver personal care under a CQC registration
You remain the tenant, with your rights and tenancy protected
The housing and support elements are delivered under the Exempt Accommodation framework
📋 Our focus:
Tenancy sustainment and safe environments
Regular property checks and responsive repairs
Collaborative working with families, social workers, and care providers
This model promotes independence, choice, and long-term stability — helping individuals thrive in the community with the right care and the right housing.
