Neurodivergent residents are already in your service. Is your practice ready to support them?
The Supported Housing Act is moving through regulation now. Providers who evidence neuroinclusive practice will be ahead of those who wait.
The sector knows neurodivergence is present. Most providers don't yet have a way to evidence what they're doing about it.
Neurodivergent residents are present across every cohort in supported housing — but most aren't identified at intake. By the time needs emerge, breakdown is already closer than it should be.
A failed tenancy costs a provider thousands in void periods, re-referral, and commissioner relationship damage. Most breakdowns have early warning signs that go unaddressed.
The Supported Housing Act introduces licensing, mandatory standards, and new strategy requirements. The direction is clear. Providers who evidence quality now will be in a fundamentally stronger position than those who wait.

Choose the right level of assessment
We work with providers at different stages of readiness. All three tiers are assessed against the ND Housing Standard framework.
Tier 1
For providers who want to understand where they currently stand. You complete a structured self-assessment. We analyse your responses against the ND Housing Standard, produce a scored report, and identify your three priority areas for improvement.
- •Structured provider self-assessment
- •Analysis against ND Housing Standard framework
- •ND Readiness Score
- •Three priority recommendations
- •Written report delivered within 7 working days
Tier 2
Our core assessment. We review your existing documentation remotely, then conduct a focused half-day site visit to assess the environment and speak with your team. You receive a full report that can be shared with commissioners.
- •Remote document and policy review
- •Half-day site assessment
- •Full environmental and operational review
- •ND Readiness Score
- •Risk & Breakdown Analysis
- •Practical Improvement Plan
- •Early Compliance Positioning report
- •Delivered within 10 working days
Tier 3
For larger providers or registered providers who need a commissioner-ready evidence trail ahead of 2027 licensing. Includes everything in Tier 2 plus staff awareness training and a structured three-month follow-up review.
- •Remote document and policy review
- •Two site visits
- •Full environmental and operational assessment
- •Staff interviews and team awareness session
- •ND Readiness Score
- •Risk & Breakdown Analysis
- •Practical Improvement Plan
- •Commissioner-ready evidence report
- •Three-month follow-up review
Built for providers who want to do this properly
Supported housing providers preparing for 2027 licensing requirements
Registered providers seeking to evidence neuroinclusive practice to commissioners
Specialist accommodation services supporting neurodivergent, autistic, or ADHD adults
This work comes from over a decade of supporting neurodivergent people — and from personal experience of navigating systems that weren't built for us. The ND Housing Standard exists because we kept seeing the same breakdowns, the same unmet needs, the same missed opportunities. We built the framework we wished already existed.

About the ND Housing Standard
The ND Housing Standard is the UK's first framework for neuroinclusive supported housing. Developed from over a decade of direct work supporting neurodivergent people, it provides a consistent, evidence-based way to assess, evidence, and improve housing environments for neurodivergent residents.
The Standard covers five domains: Identification, Environment, Support, Transition, and Capability — the five areas where neuroinclusive practice has the greatest impact on resident outcomes and tenancy stability.
Assessments are delivered by ROW Infrastructure Partners under licence from the ND Housing Standard.
