What type of accommodation is available?
The type of accommodation available is dependant on the client group.
Long-term Accommodation
Is mainly provided for people who have a learning disability, older people including those with extra care needs, and people with a physical, sensory or mental health needs. This type of accommodation is usually shared houses, individual tenancies or flats.
Long term means that clients can stay in the scheme for more than 2 years, and there is no maximum length of time to be receiving support.
Short-term Accommodation
Is for homeless people, those who are victims of domestic abuse, teenage parents, ex-offenders and young people leaving care. Accommodation is quite often hostel based, or individual flats located close together.
Short term means that a client can only receive the support for up to 2 years, and during this time alternative suitable accommodation should be found.
Floating Support
This is where a person has a tenancy with either the local authority, housing association or private landlord, and a service provider delivers support in their own home.
