Safe, affordable homes with support
Homes that come with the help you need
We provide homes for people across Sussex who need support to live independently.
Our housing comes with the help you need to settle in and build a stable life.
We offer two types of housing:
1
Short-term supported housing
A temporary home (usually up to 2 years) with staff to help you build confidence and skills
2
Long-term homes
permanent, affordable housing for people who can live more independently.
Accommodation with support
A temporary home with staff on hand to help you build the skills and confidence you need to live independently.
