Young people empowered for independent living

At Supported Homes, we provide a safe, supportive environment for young people aged 16 and above, helping them develop the essential life skills and emotional well-being needed for independent living.

As a host, you’ll play a vital role in supporting a young person as they navigate their journey toward independence, providing both guidance and encouragement to help them make informed decisions, take ownership of their responsibilities, and build confidence in themselves.

Why become a host?

By becoming a host, you’ll live in a shared, welcoming space where a young person can thrive. Your support will empower them to learn life skills such as budgeting, cooking, time management, and problem-solving. You’ll also help them understand the importance of making healthy choices for their emotional well-being and future, from managing their health to making decisions about education, work, and social relationships.

Co-living, not care

In a co-living arrangement, you’ll act as a mentor and guide, not a caregiver. You will support the young person in their day-to-day life, helping them take ownership of their choices while providing a stable, secure environment.

Tailored support

Each young person has unique needs, and we provide personalised support plans to help them achieve their goals. Whether it’s assistance with education, employment, healthcare, or social integration, you’ll play a key part in their journey.

Building independence

As a host, you’ll encourage the development of practical life skills—such as budgeting, cooking, managing daily routines, and making decisions—all while helping them build self-esteem and resilience.

Emotional and practical guidance

You’ll provide a safe space where they can process their emotions, heal from past experiences, and feel supported as they gain the confidence to thrive independently.

What we offer

Ongoing support

You’ll never be alone in this journey. We provide continuous support and training to ensure you have the resources and guidance needed to support the young person in your home.

Meaningful impact

You’ll have the opportunity to shape the future of a young person, helping them move from their care experiences beyond their control, to one where they are empowered to make their own decisions and build the life they want for themselves.

If you’re ready to make a lasting difference in the life of a young person, Supported Homes offers the perfect opportunity. By becoming a host, you’ll help a young person take the vital steps towards independence, building a foundation for a successful, confident future.
