Sheltered Housing
Brighton & Hove City Council manages 23 sheltered schemes across the city providing over 830 homes. The Sheltered Housing service aims to provide older people with a high quality of accommodation and support services, meeting a wide range of needs, thus enabling them to live independently and in comfort.
Our sheltered schemes can offer the following benefits:
- a wide variety of locations and properties, including flats and bungalows
- a secure tenancy with the privacy of your own front door and living space
- a scheme manager on-site who can provide advice and help to arrange additional care services if required
- a 24-hour emergency alarm that allows residents to contact our CareLink Plus Control Centre or the scheme manager in an emergency
- a friendly, welcoming community of vibrant and diverse people
- communal lounges with a selection of social activities
- guest rooms where family and friends may stay while visiting
- private gardens or patios where residents may sit and relax
- an electric cooker and fridge if required
Sheltered housing is for older people who have some support needs. Applying is done through our usual choice based lettings system - see our applying for council housing page for more details.
