There services are to be provided to adults with varying needs who may have learning disabilities, physical disabilities, mental health difficulties or acquired brain injuries and those that have substance misuse problems and forensic histories. Supported living offers a community-based option for adults with disabilities for whom low level visiting support and residential care home placements are not appropriate to meet assessed needs. The services will be provided to adults with moderate, substantial and critical levels of need linked to eligibility criteria that are owner-occupiers or principal house-holders in tenancies in a range of settings that include dispersed single occupancy properties; shared tenancies; houses of multiple occupation; and core and cluster, project-based and extra-care model resources. Support will include personal care, housing support, and social care. Support will be personalised, based on an assessment of the individual’s strengths and needs and will enable people to achieve individual outcomes. An Enhanced Supported Living Service may be commissioned for adults whose assessed needs, which may include complex health or behavioural needs, have identified a requirement for such a service.
