Principles of Supported Living

Supported living arrangements aim to increase each individual's independence and skills by reducing dependency over time. They should therefore increase the independence of an adult and reduce the amount of paid and unpaid support that they need. This enables people to try new things, allows care and support in their homes, and might support people to move on to independent forms of accommodation.

The provision of tenancy-based accommodation enables people with disabilities to rent their own homes with the security of tenure as long as they abide by the rules of their tenancy.  This is in line with the Care Act (2014) and is in keeping with adults without disabilities and fits with the principles of living an ordinary life.

Tenancy-based accommodation can include property rented from registered social landlords, not-for-profit and charitable landlords or through private rentals. Accommodation should be as stable as possible for the tenant and landlords should avoid short-term lease arrangements.

With most local authorities, within tenancy based supported living options, there is a commonly accepted set of principles that are defined in ‘Changing Our Lives Quality of Life:  Standards & Toolkit’ and the Reach Principles: As a provider of supported living (landlords and support providers) you are expected adhere to the standards and principles and can provide evidence to that effect.

Supported Living is a form of healthcare that promotes service users residing within the community. It consists of both regulated and unregulated activities. Regulated activities are under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (regulated activities) Regulations 2014 and it is in the provider's power to make sure they are regulated for the correct activity.
