3. Aspirations
That people with disabilities experience more choice and control in the range, quality and supply of local supported housing available as an alternative to out of borough residential care or other forms of specialist housing.
Housing and support services will maximise the opportunities for all people with disabilities to live ordinary lives in the community, in their own home , including people with autism, complex and challenging needs.
Improved pathways into and through housing will offer independent ‘move on’ options to people who have gained skills and confidence and increased access to supported employment and other community activities.
People will have access to new and improved high quality housing and support services that are fit for the future, providing flexible provision that meets people’s longer term access needs

4. Strategy & Development
Improve the variety of housing options available locally for people with learning and physical disabilities in Swindon
The existing pathways into and through mainstream housing and support will be reviewed to ensure that people have the opportunity to access more independent supported and mainstream housing tenancies.
Future models of accommodation will be based on promoting independence through tenancy arrangements , flexible personalised support and access to community activities and supported employment opportunities.
Effective, timely planning with people who are living with older carers and those who are moving from Children’s and Adult Services will be delivered to ensure that future housing needs are identified and that people have access to good housing advice and information.
