SHARED HOUSING

We have 4 shared houses. Two are female only (a 2 bedded house in Meanwood and a 4 bedded house in Headingley ) and the other two are male only (a 4 bedded house in Armley and a 3 bedded house in Yeadon).

This service can be accessed for a maximum of two years, after which the client should have the necessary skills or be at a stage in their recovery where they can sustain their own tenancy. Clients can then move on to our floating support service for a further two years. (please see details about our floating support service).

However the clients needs may determine that they may want longer term shared or a higher degree of supported housing. We will work with the client until the appropriate accommodation and support is co-ordinated.

The support offered is detailed on our main page under; objectives.

Each client will be issued with a tenancy agreement and there is a rent charge. For people on benefits most of the rent is paid by, housing benefit. However a personal contribution is required as the rent covers gas, electric, water, furnishings, council tax, T.V licence, maintenance of the building. The personal contribution is usually around £ 15.31 a week; this can vary depending on what benefits people receive.

For people who are working or may not be in receipt of housing benefit we discuss a fair rent depending on their income at the time. This is done on an individual basis. We do not want to exclude clients who’s needs may be best me in the shared house because of financial reasons.

Each room is furnished with a bed / bedding, wardrobe, bedside draws, large chest of draws, lamp and all the communal areas are furnished to a high standard, this includes cooker, washing machine, dryer, microwave, cutlery/cooking utensils, TV, etc.

We emphasise that clients are happy to and willing to live in a shared environment. We do work to a ‘best fit’ with existing clients within the shared house.
