Supported accommodation
Supported accommodation is for people who need help to look after their well-being and keep their homes. The aim is to support people to live independently and confidently.
There are about 500 places in the city for adults needing supported accommodation and about 150 places for young people from the age of 16 years.
Places are available by referral from a range of sources including:
- the council's housing options
- rough sleeper outreach
- social care
Off-street support for rough sleepers
The off-street offer provides short-stay emergency accommodation in a safe place for up to 30 rough sleepers.
People staying in the accommodation will have their needs assessed. They will be offered personalised support to help them move into permanent accommodation.
The facility is not a drop-in centre. Places at the hub are allocated by our outreach service. Find out more about referrals to the hub via StreetLink.
