This leaflet is for people in Suffolk with learning disabilities, their families, other carers and workers. It may also mean ordinary housing with support, possibly with changes to the house where needed. Sometimes it can be arranged through a quicker than normal process.
Councils usually have houses or flats for rent.
However, most newer housing for rent is provided by Housing Associations. In both cases, Councils put people's names forward for tenancies from their housing register. Peoples priority on the list will usually depend on their needs, such as whether or not they are homeless or likely to become so. The greater people's housing need, the greater the number of points they are given and so the faster they are housed. Within each council's Housing Department is a Section which is responsible for maintaining the Housing Register and allocating Housing.
