16+ Semi-Independent Living

About the service

Supporting Hands have developed a number of shared living accommodation for young people aged 16+ and have out grown the residential settings. The service can support up to 4 young people at any one time, each for a period of up to 2 years. The service supports young people to develop their independence, and social skills ready for independent living. Our 16+ Independent Living Service is perfect for individuals who aren´t quite ready to live alone or manage their own tenancy, and can be used as a step-down service for those young people who are moving on from childrens homes or foster care. Each resident has an independence plan with agreed goals and outcomes to enable independence and career development.

• Each Young Person has their own room with on-suite, and mini kitchen.
• The Service has a comprehensive independence skills development program, which covers all the areas of independent living.
• Residents have access to support 24/7, which is available through walk-in access to the office, and communal areas
• Each resident have a designated Key Worker who ensures agreed goals are tracked and achieved.
