For many people, finding a home is just the first step. Having a safe place to live is essential, but some individuals need extra support to truly thrive. That’s where supported housing comes in.
At Stoneygate Social Housing CIC, we provide supported housing across the UK, helping individuals live independently while receiving the care and guidance they need. Whether you or a loved one are at risk of homelessness, leaving care, or living with a disability, supported housing could be the key to a more stable future.
What is Supported Housing?
Supported housing is a specialist type of accommodation designed for people who need more than just a home. It offers safe and secure living spaces alongside tailored support services that help residents manage daily life, build confidence, and achieve independence.
Unlike traditional housing, supported housing provides:
✅ A secure home for those who may otherwise struggle to find stable accommodation.
✅ Access to specialist support workers who assist with personal development, healthcare, and wellbeing.
✅ A pathway to independence, helping individuals develop skills for long-term stability.
At Stoneygate Social Housing CIC, we work closely with local councils, charities, and care providers to ensure that every resident receives the right level of support for their needs.
Who Can Benefit from Supported Housing?
Supported housing is designed for people who need more than just a place to live. If you or someone you know falls into one of these categories, this type of housing could be a lifeline.
1️⃣ Survivors of Domestic Abuse
💙 Leaving an abusive relationship can be frightening, especially when housing options are limited. Supported housing provides a safe environment where survivors can rebuild their lives with security and dignity.
2️⃣ Individuals with Mental Health Needs
🧠 Many people experiencing mental health challenges struggle with managing a home alone. Supported housing ensures they have access to professionals who can help them stay safe, manage daily tasks, and work towards independence.
3️⃣ People with Disabilities or Long-Term Health Conditions
♿ Accessible housing with on-site or outreach support helps individuals with physical or learning disabilities live comfortably while maintaining as much independence as possible.
4️⃣ Young People Leaving Care
👩🎓 Many young adults leaving foster care or children’s homes need guidance in learning life skills, securing a job, and managing responsibilities. Supported housing gives them the foundation for a successful future.
5️⃣ People at Risk of Homelessness
🏚️ Whether due to job loss, eviction, or financial hardship, many people find themselves without a home through no fault of their own. Supported housing helps prevent homelessness by providing affordable accommodation and personalised assistance.
