Supported housing
Our aim is to provide single supported housing to ensure a successful tenancy for those that have suffered mental illness. Our housing services embrace recovery approaches for mental health and wellbeing; a holistic, enabling, person centred approach to mental distress, disadvantage and social exclusion.
Please note that none of our supported housing projects are open for self-referral.
