Supported living provides housing as well as care and support. Find out what supported living is and who can get it.
Supported living is for people who need some support, but don’t want to live in a care home.
Depending on the amount of support needed, the accommodation could be a shared house or flat. The number of people living together also varies.
Supported living can help people with things like a learning disability or mental health condition.
Some supported living accommodation provides low level support, while others provide 24-hour support for people who need more help.
Support can help with:
You have a tenancy agreement and you pay for rent and bills.
If you receive Housing Benefit, you could get help with some of these costs.
To find out if you can get supported living, ask Adult Social Care for an assessment. If you can get help, someone will plan your support with you.
To request an assessment, send an email to accesspoint@brighton-hove.gov.uk or phone 01273 29 55 55.
