Demand for Supported Living Services
ECC Definition of Supported Living A cluster of single occupancy units which are grouped together either within a purpose-built block or within a defined area (such as a street) with an element of shared (core) support for all service users. Tenants live in a shared house or bungalow and have their own bedroom, ideally with an en suite bathroom or wet room, but share every other part of the property with other tenants.
Key features Tenancy has no link to support If the support provider changes, the tenant does not leave their home All rent to be fully met by Housing Benefit Property is modern and of a good standard Support is delivered in person centred way, using a core and flexi model Property is sustainable Hourly rates are best value
