WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO GET INVESTMENT FROM THIS FUND

About the fund

The Resonance Supported Homes Fund helps increase the supply of supported housing for people with learning disabilities and autisic people.

The fund acquires, refurbishes and adapts homes to meet individual needs, creating high-quality, settled supported housing that enables people to live independently within their communities.

The fund has 35 properties in its portfolio (with potential for up to 70 bedspaces) and has so far provided homes and support for 60 people.

Why the fund is needed

Many people with learning disabilities and autisic people are living in unsuitable accommodation, away from family and support networks, or remain unable to move into independent housing due to a shortage of appropriate homes. This includes over 2,000 people with learning disabilities and autistic people currently living in inpatient hospital care.

The fund addresses the suitable housing gap by working with 2 specialist housing providers to create homes that promote independence, choice and long-term wellbeing.

How it works

- Resonance acquires and adapts suitable properties

- Homes are tailored to meet tenants' needs where required

- Properties are leased to specialist housing providers

- Housing partners provide housing management and personalised support to tenants

- Tenants can live independently within their local communities

“We all need a place to call home; this fund will make this a reality for many more people with a learning disability, autism or mental health condition.”
Tim Cooper, Chief Executive, United Response

“As demand for supported living accommodation in the county grows and as people live longer, it is through programmes such as this one that we are able to provide the support needed. We will empower people to live the lives they want to lead, in their communities, close to their friends and families, and with as much independence as possible.”
