Supported Housing scheme categories

Supported exempt accommodation

A resettlement place, or accommodation which is provided by a county council, housing association, registered charity or voluntary organisation where that body, or person acting on their behalf, provides the claimant with care, support or supervision on more than a minimal basis.

A managed property

Cases that do not meet the definition of ‘supported exempt accommodation’ solely because care support or supervision isn't provided by the landlord or on their behalf, often due to the funding/care structures in place. The following conditions apply:

The property is provided by a county council, housing association, registered charity or voluntary organisation.
The claimant is admitted upon the condition that they are in need of, and in agreement to receive, the care support or supervision that is attached to the accommodation.
Care support or supervision cannot be ‘floating support’ provided in standard social or third-sector housing.

An indication of need may be shown through the provision of public funding for the care support or supervision, although this is not a mandatory requirement. Another consideration would be if the accommodation has been commissioned designed or designated as supported housing by the Local Authority or other appropriate statutory body.

Temporary refuge accommodation (victims fleeing domestic violence)

Temporary refuge accommodation provided by the same group of third and social sector landlords, but also a Local Authority, where the resident is accommodated because they are fleeing their home as a result of domestic violence. Domestic abuse does not need to be from within the household but other types of violence that may occur in a domestic setting, such as violence by a neighbour or landlord etc.

Some refuge accommodation may fall under categories 'support exempt' or 'managed'.
