What is Supported Housing?
Supported housing provides accommodation with support services available to tenants. Our projects vary in the level of support provided, which enables us to consider applications from individuals with a variety of needs.
The majority of our projects are let on “Assured Shorthold” tenancies, which run for 6 month periods. Tenants stay at our projects for differing lengths of time depending on their individual circumstances.
Whilst a tenant at our projects, people agree a support plan with our project workers. Support plans are developed by agreement and give people the opportunity to identify what they would like to achieve while at the project. Support plans can include a wide range of things from education and employment issues, to recreational activities or accessing services from other agencies.
If you would like to apply to Mind Monmouthshire to be considered for supported housing you can complete an initial contact form or, with your permission, a referral can be made on your behalf from somebody who is working with you, such as a social worker, community psychiatric nurse or family member or friend.Accessing our Supported Housing
