Supported living can mean and be different things to different people.

An individual flat

For some, supported living can be living on their own with minimal support, living in an individual flat as independently as possible within the community with few hours of support a week. You will have your own tenancy and receive benefits which you will need to use toward daily living, bills and rent and paying towards the cost of any support needs you have.

Shared accomodation

For others, supported living can mean living with several other people with similar needs and sharing some support. It can mean having access to support 24 hours a day. You will have your own tenancy and receive benefits which you will need to use toward daily living, your share of bills and rent and paying towards the cost of any support needs you have. You may also have shared responsibilities with housemates towards daily chores like cooking and cleaning.
