Supported housing

This section provides information and advice on what to do if you or a member of your family is looking at the possibility of applying for supported housing.  It includes:

In the case of nursing homes and housing for people with a mental health problem or disability, social services will need to carry out an assessment of your needs.

Housing associations provide accessible housing for people with physical disabilities but you will need to apply directly to the housing association to join their register or waiting list.
