Depending upon specific needs there are various housing options available for young adults.
General Needs Social Housing
District and borough councils have the statutory responsibility for housing in their area, including homelessness. They can provide general advice about social housing and housing for rent in the private sector. District and borough councils work with local housing associations to develop and manage the social housing in their area. Please view the individual district or borough council website for details.
Housing-related Support
Housing-related support funds various specialist types of housing for people with specialist housing needs (subject to eligibility). It includes provision for people with mental ill health, people with drug or alcohol dependency, people experiencing domestic abuse and many others. In addition, the programme provides workers who can go into people's homes and help them with housing related support. The scheme aims to help people stay independent.
