Housing Top Tips

Top tips for families and supporters when looking for housing for young people with SEND.

These are our nine top tips when looking for housing for young people with SEND. This guide is written for families and supporters to share with young people.

A home is much more than a building. Suitable housing is important to someone with a disability. If it’s in a supportive community, it can give someone a safe and secure environment, and help improve and maintain independence. The quality of the property, its location, and security of tenure are all important aspects that can affect whether a person thrives.
