Supported and sheltered housing

Supported Housing is for people who are vulnerable and need support to live independently.

Some support is 'floating' meaning you can have the support wherever you live. Other support is in specialised supported housing. This could be in groups of individual flats or in a larger house where people share a kitchen, lounge and bathrooms.
