Overview

Supported housing may be the answer if you want to live independently, in a smaller and easier-to-manage home with accessibility features, and with the reassurance of having someone to call on if there’s an emergency.

You can buy or rent supported housing from providers like:

• your local council
• a housing association
• a private company

It may also be called:

• sheltered housing or very sheltered housing
• retirement housing
• supported living accommodation
