Supported and Sheltered Housing - Information and Advice
Supported housing enables many people with mental health problems or learning difficulties, people who have been homeless and rootless, vulnerable young people and older people to attain greater independence, or to live in the community rather than in institutional care or on the street.
Sheltered housing is provided for older people who need smaller, more manageable accommodation, with the reassurance that help is always available in an emergency through a fitted alarm system.
Supporting People is a government initiative that enables vulnerable people to remain, or become, independent in the community through the provision of housing related support services.
