Independent living (housing with support)

Types of supported housing

Information about the different types of supported housing we offer to our tenants.

Sheltered Housing Schemes

These schemes are supported by an Independent Living Officer working on site during our office opening hours. 

Many have been built especially for older people and have extra facilities such as laundries, guest rooms and communal halls.

Neighbourhood Sheltered Housing Schemes

These schemes are supported by an Independent Living Officer covering a group of flats or bungalows.

They also provide services to homes outside this group. 

Some of these schemes also have communal facilities.
