Supported housing is funded by the Government's Supporting People programme and is delivered by North Yorkshire County Council.
What is supported housing?
Supported housing is accommodation where tenants receive housing related support and support to help them with their particular identified need. The accommodation is only available to people who have an assessed medium/high or complex need due to a particular vulnerability or issue such as:
- Mental health
- Offending history
- Age
- Learning disability
Tenants receive the support to learn the skills to enable them to live independently - we call this a programme of resettlement. It is the objective of the programme that they move on out of supported housing into private or social rented accommodation within a period of 6-36 months.
