Supported living

Service users can build on the skills required to further develop their needs in order to achieve a greater level of independence.

From here they can move into their own flat and can be supported by our outreach services, if that is their wish. Supported living can be provided in two different ways, single occupancy (where an individual may have their own home and require 24 hour support) or a group of people living together in accommodation.

Usually it is difficult for individuals in receipt of benefits to rent property, so it is common for either a housing association to provide housing support and for a provider to be commissioned by the person/s, or for a Landlord to be aware of the adaptations that may be needed in your housing needs and for you to commission support separately. Either way the individual themselves is provided with a tenancy agreement.

Our support

This model is perfect for people who can live independently with some regular help. That help might involve support with managing your home, taking medication, shopping and cooking, or building your social network. It can also include emotional and psychological support, practical problem-solving, and help navigating appointments or daily stresses.

You’ll work with our team to identify your goals and create a plan that supports your day-to-day needs, promotes your independence, and helps you build the life you want.

Staff will be available to you when you need them but will step back when you don’t. You’ll have space to grow while knowing you’re not alone. Supported living is flexible, responsive, and built around choice.

Over time, you might move from supported living into core and cluster - or choose to stay where you are with just the right amount of help to live safely and meaningfully in your own home.
