Supported living

Sanctuary Supported Living provides support and housing services to over 6,000 people across England. We provide support for people who have mental health needs, a learning disability or other disability, those who have experienced homelessness, domestic abuse or face losing their home due to personal crises.

We offer supported living services to "enable people to live independently and achieve their personal goals" whether that is to get a job, have their own home or make new friends.

We work closely with local authorities and other agencies to design and deliver a range of specialist services, such as move-on options for homeless people, day services, housing for people with learning disabilities, or self-contained flats and floating support services for women escaping domestic violence.
