Supported housing
Leicester City Council operates a number of supported housing projects throughout the City that are designed to provide vulnerable people with accommodation and support. The Supported Housing schemes also help people to work towards independent living.
Supported Housing projects are staffed five days a week, Monday to Friday, from 9am to 5pm.
An assessment will be made to ensure the right services are available to assist and provide support. Any offer of accommodation will be dependant on the support need and staffing levels at the individual projects.
