Supported accommodation

We fund accommodation which helps vulnerable people develop and maintain their capacity to live more independently in their home. This may be in a tenancy, as an owner-occupier, as a lodger or in another semi-independent living arrangement. 

 We can provide services to:

• older people
• homeless families with support needs
• people with mental health problems or learning disabilities
• vulnerable adults
• victims of domestic violence
• young people and care leavers
• people who misuse drugs or alcohol
• travellers and other excluded groups.

We can help with:

• home security (reminding to lock up, using appliances safely, fire safety, controlling access)
• arranging repairs, improvements, adaptations, completing forms, applying for benefit
• resolving neighbour disputes
• resettling, and things you need to do to help you live more independently
• access to other support or community services
• employment or training opportunities
• warden/scheme manager support in sheltered housing
• other professionals, family and neighbours, by advocating on your behalf
• your or an individual's well-being by keeping an eye on you/them
• providing alarm systems so you can call for help in an emergency
• life skills  (cooking, budgeting, kitchen hygiene, food storage)
