Level 4     Supported Housing - Edinburgh

What does Supported Housing - Edinburgh Offer?

Bethany Supported Housing - Edinburgh provides medium to long-term accommodation in dispersed single and shared flats for homeless people around Edinburgh City. The support provided assists clients to develop their own ability to live independently in the community. Support and advice is available for budgeting, addiction relapse prevention, independent living skills, emotional issues, benefits, household management, education and training. Support is provided to clients in their own homes by the Supported Housing Team working in partnership with other relevant statutory and voluntary agencies in the community.

Who Can Apply?

The service considers formal referrals of single men and women over the age of 18 as well as single parent families. Unfortunately we are not able to accommodate clients who have high support needs, who do not wish to receive support, who have a chaotic lifestyle or who display challenging behaviour.

How To Apply?

Referrals are welcome directly from prospective clients and from agencies working with homeless people. Referrals should be made by phone to the Supported Housing Team at the address below. In the first instance referrals should be discussed with a Supported Housing Team member. An application form will then be sent to all appropriately referred clients. As part of the interview and assessment process references will be requested from the referring agency and from agencies which have worked closely with the referred client, e.g. Social Worker, Housing Worker, G.P., Advice Agency, etc.
