What is
supported housing?
Supported housing is also sometimes known as sheltered accommodation.
In Kirklees, the council provides two types of supported housing for
older people:
- in bungalows or flats where there is an emergency alarm system
to call for assistance, or
- in a complex of bungalows or flats where a Scheme Coordinator
(formerly a warden) is on site 24 hours a day
Some local housing associations also offer similar facilities.
How can I apply for supported
housing?
If you would like to apply for supported housing, you will need to
complete an application form from Housing Services. The information
you provide will be assessed to ensure that properties are allocated
to those people who need them the most.
If I already receive
community care services - How do I apply?
If you currently receive Community Care services and would like to
apply for supported housing, please contact your social worker.
How can I get my questions answered?
Use the Gateway to Care enquiry form if you would like to e-mail any questions directly to a Gateway to Care.
How can I get more information?
