Outward is proud to have been able to work with a number of people with learning disabilities and other long-term disabilities to access shared ownership through the government’s HOLD scheme. The majority of our work was in partnership with Newlon Housing Trust, with whom we are in a group structure. Additionally we worked with Enfield borough. Shared ownership proved to be very successful for many of the individuals we have supported in the past. Most have remained in their shared ownership properties leading to positive outcomes for each person.
Although Outward is not supporting a HOLD Shared Ownership programme at present, Shared Ownership can be successfully achieved by individuals with moderate and severe learning disabilities who meet a number of eligibilities with specialist financial advice accessed through My Safe Home.
