We provide supported accommodation across Nottingham for vulnerable adults and families who need more than just housing. Our comprehensive referral and assessment process ensures we can offer the right support to people ready to engage with our services.
‍

Who Can Access Our Services?

We currently provide accommodation for:

• Single adult males (18+)
• Families requiring supported housing
• Adults transitioning from homelessness or unstable housing
• People with multiple complex needs including ex-offender status, addiction issues, or mental health challenges
  ‍
  ‍

The Referral Process.

Step 1: Professional Referral
‍All referrals must be completed by a support worker or someone from an organisation providing support. This could include:

• Housing Options teams
• Support charities
• Job Centre staff
• Housing or support providers
• Previous landlords or support workers
  ‍

Step 2: Initial Assessment
‍We use referral information to understand individual needs and assess whether we have the resources to help. Not everyone can be accommodated immediately, as our bed spaces are almost always over-subscribed.

Step 3: Informal Chat
‍If we believe we can help, you'll be invited for an informal discussion to learn more about our service and have questions answered. This ensures we're the right fit for each other.

When invited for an assessment, bring as much ID as possible to make the process smoother. This includes:

• Photo ID
• Benefits documentation
• Medical records if relevant
• Previous tenancy information
  ‍

Step 4: Waiting List or Placement
‍If no immediate vacancies exist, you'll be placed on our waiting list and contacted when bed spaces become available.
‍

Our Accommodation Standards.

All properties feature:

• Furnished and decorated to high standards
• Dry house policy (no drugs or alcohol)
• Reasonable house rules similar to any rental property
  ‍

Costs and Benefits.

Rent varies by property, but housing benefit typically covers the majority of costs for eligible residents. You'll be responsible for a small service charge covering utilities and support services, with all costs explained clearly before signing documents.
