Another Way Home is a Supportive Collective event taking place in April and May 2022. We will explore housing and accommodation opportunities.

About this event

Another Way Home will explore housing and accommodation opportunities for people with complex support needs (such as learning disabilities, complex needs and autism). We will draw upon local families and carers themselves, way to own your own home, use personal budgets, secure enhanced housing benefit and find local providers to get the home that’s right for you.

Across online events, the summit will feature talks from local people who have developed models of independent and supported living from the ground up and representatives from initiatives such as Shared Lives and HOLD (Home Ownership for people with Long-term Disabilities).

This summit will be delivered as series of webinars via Zoom. There will be a facility for viewers to post questions to speakers and panelists. The webinars will recorded for public sharing via Project Art Work’ YouTube channel. Booking is essential but the summit is free to attend thanks to funding from Three Guineas Trust.
