Supported Housing

A home of your own, with the right support around you

For many people, the idea of living independently feels out of reach. At Falcon Housing Association, we believe everyone deserves a place they can truly call home — somewhere safe, stable, and theirs.

Our supported housing gives vulnerable adults across England the chance to live in their own home, with the right level of support to help them manage day-to-day life. It’s not residential care. It’s not temporary. It’s a real home, with real independence.

What does supported housing actually mean?

Supported housing sits somewhere between living entirely independently and living in a care home. Tenants have their own tenancy agreement and their own front door — but they also have access to personalised support that helps them stay on top of daily life.

That support is arranged separately from your housing. So if your needs change, or you want to switch care provider, you don’t have to move. Your home stays yours.

Support can range from a few hours a week — help with bills, appointments, or building daily routines — right through to more intensive, full-time assistance. It’s built around you, not the other way round.

Working with care providers

We don’t provide care directly. Instead, we work closely with trusted care providers who support our tenants day to day.

Our partners help residents with things like managing their tenancy, keeping on top of bills, and developing the confidence and skills to live more independently over time. We work together to make sure the housing and the support fit together properly — because when they do, tenants thrive.

Types of homes we offer

We offer two types of accommodation, depending on what works best for each person:

• Self-contained homes give tenants complete privacy — their own bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living space. You have everything you need within your own four walls, plus the support of Falcon and your care provider around you.
• Shared homes are for people who’d benefit from a bit more community. You’ll have your own bedroom (some with ensuite bathrooms), and share a kitchen, living room, and other communal spaces with a small number of other tenants. Many people find shared living reduces isolation and helps them build confidence.

Our properties

Our homes are ordinary houses in ordinary streets — and that’s deliberate. We want our tenants to be part of their local community, not set apart from it.

Properties are well-maintained and located close to transport, shops, and local services. Before anyone moves in, we make sure the home is the right fit — not just in terms of space, but in terms of who else lives there and what support is in place.

Adapting a home to suit you

Sometimes a standard property needs a few changes to work properly for someone — whether that’s grab rails, widened doorways, or specialist equipment.

If adaptations are needed, we’ll work with you and your care provider before you move in to agree what’s required and how to fund it. We can help guide applications for funding so that everything is in place from day one, and you can settle in comfortably from the start.

How to make a referral

We accept referrals from prospective tenants, family members, and local authorities. To be considered for one of our properties, you’ll need both a housing need and a support need that we’re able to meet.

If you’re not sure whether Falcon is the right fit, get in touch — we’re happy to talk it through.
