Supported Housing

At the heart of everything we do is providing housing and support for people who are homeless or struggling with their housing situation.

High quality housing with support

Finding the right home

Our unique service means we can match people to the type of supported housing that is right for them. We will take into account the person’s situation, housing location and what they want.

High quality accommodation

A Derventio house should feel like a home. That is why all our properties must meet our high standards. We carry out repairs and maintenance to keep every home in good condition.

Personalised support

Everyone who comes to us is different. We work with each person living in our housing to create a plan to work towards their goals.

Shared housing

Most of the homes we run are shared. There are many benefits to living in a shared home, especially for people who haven’t lived independently before. Sharing a home can lead to new friendships and mutual support. It is a good way for people to get used to living independently while still having other people around.

Independent living

As well as housing we offer support to help people to resettle and manage their home life. We help people to understand what they need to do to keep their home, including their rights and responsibilities. We also support people to deal with their individual barriers and challenges.
