Housing Options
We offer shared housing and sole occupancy housing options.
Shared housing means tenants rent a bedroom in a property and share the communal spaces (like the lounge, kitchen and bathroom) and facilities with the other tenants in the property.
Sole occupancy means tenants rent a self-contained property for their own use and they do not share any of the rooms or facilities with anyone else. This option is suitable for people that would like to live alone or for couples that would like to live together.
Deciding which housing option is best for you
It can be difficult to decide which option is better for you. Think about things like:
- Do you want to live with other people or do you want to live alone?
- Are you happy to share the rooms and facilities in your home with other people?
- Can you afford to pay all of the bills on your own home or would it better to split the cost of things like the telephone bill with others so it is cheaper?
Both options have good points and bad points. When you are making your choice you will need to think about the things that are important to you.

Often, people that are moving out of home for the first time or people who are leaving care move into shared housing first. They work on their living skills and get used to the responsibilities of living independently. Then later on after living in shared housing for a while people move on to living alone.
