KAP provides supported housing for adults with a learning disability and/or mental health needs, helping them build a life of their own choosing.
We were established as an independent community interest company (CIC) in 2021, growing from our original work supporting people facing homelessness and substance misuse — and that same commitment to meeting people where they are still drives everything we do.
That’s why at KAP we start with the person — empowering them to choose where, how and with whom they live. We work in partnership with local support providers to ensure people have access to what they need to live independently in their home and community.
We provide high-quality rented housing, tailored to each person’s needs, across Kent.
We provide specialist landlord services that support choice and independence for every tenant.
We carry out planned, proactive maintenance across all 13 properties to keep homes safe and compliant.
Our in-house team responds quickly to tenant-reported repairs, keeping homes in good condition day to day.
A 24-hour helpline for emergencies and urgent repairs.
Giving tenants a voice — a chance to shape and get involved in the services we provide.
We provide supported living for adults with learning disabilities and other support needs, enabling people to live in their own home and be part of their community.
This isn’t just accommodation — it’s a home of their own, where they receive the support they need to thrive, grow, and build the life they want. We build support around each person we work with, rather than trying to fit people into a fixed “service.”
During assessment and support planning, we work to understand what someone can do for themselves and where they need support. We agree together how they wish to get out and about in their community, and what matters to them day to day.
Our co-production approach ensures the person we support has choice and control over what they want to achieve and what a good life looks like to them. That may include:
The level of support is determined by each person’s needs.
Here at KAP, it’s important to us that tenants live happy, healthy and safe lives — helping them achieve their future aspirations. We work closely with partner organisations to ensure tenants receive the right support to meet their needs. Combining housing management with the right support helps our tenants maintain their tenancy.
We have skilled, experienced staff who understand the needs of people with a learning disability or autistic people, delivering a range of housing management services including:
Feeling safe at home matters, and we take our safeguarding responsibilities seriously. We work with a number of partners to help keep tenants safe, including people with a learning disability and their families, alongside support providers such as Mencap and local authorities.
Residency is available to men and women aged 18 or over with a learning disability or mental health needs. Referrals are usually made by a professional working with the prospective resident, such as someone from Social Services, though we also accept direct access.
Self-referral is also possible — you can access the referral form using the link below.
