Bespoke Supportive Tenancies
We provide tenants with the choice of property and area, tailored to their needs. Whether that is to live close to family and friends, close to good transport links or within proximity of social activities we can do our upmost to deliver. We can adapt homes to meet the needs of tenants and provide a 24hr quality repairs and maintenance. We work with local authorities to provide accommodation to vulnerable adults; we can acquire land and build to an exact specification or source and purchase appropriate property in any area of need. This will be led by our strategic housing team and domiciliary support providers. Day-to-day support for any vulnerable adult will be provided by a nominated industry specialist, not ourselves, we will provide support in regard to tenancy and housing management related matters with the support provider undertaking some of this work on our behalf. To confirm we are a housing provider with no connection to a support provider, however we will work in partnership with any nominated Support Provider. We will work in partnership with local authorities, support providers, families and tenants to provide a bespoke housing service, as well as aiming to achieve new benchmarks for housing provision for vulnerable people.
