About Us
We have been working for over 20 years housing vulnerable groups and in recent years our development programme has been targeted at housing for people with special needs. In 1997 The Brunswick Park Gardens Scheme opened in Barnet providing 23 units of shared housing and I bedroom flats for people with mental health problems. Since 1991 we have been providing housing for people with autism and Asperger Syndrome, in London, Birmingham, Berkshire, Gloucestershire and Hampshire.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
For far too long people with autism and Asperger Syndrome or mental health related problems have not had appropriate local housing and support. Birnbeck intends to make the difference, turning need into provision.
BIRNBECK HOUSING ASSOCIATION DEVELOPMENTS
Birnbeck began as a provider of affordable accommodation for those in general housing and social need. In recent years we have responded to meet the specific requirements of those with special needs in an appropriate and cost effective way.
SPECIAL NEEDS SUMMARY
Our supported housing project in North West London, comprising two shared houses and six self-contained flats, provides homes for 23 people with enduring mental health problems. Five full-time staff offer ongoing client centred support, liaising closely with the local community mental health team. Service user involvement is positively encouraged, as are self-referrals.
