Birmingham Supported Living (2010) provides accommodation and support for people who suffer from mental health issues, learning disabilities, physical conditions, autism and asperges.

Golden Lane Housing is a leading provider of specialist supported housing for people with a learning disability and autistic people, providing high quality, safe homes to over 3,000 tenants across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. They were established in 1998 by the charity Mencap in response to the widespread lack of suitable housing for people with a learning disability. At that time, housing options were severely constrained — with many people either living with ageing parents or placed in residential institutions that offered limited independence, choice or connection to the wider community.
