Know Your Housing Options

Do you know what housing choices and support may be available to you?

In this practical session, we’ll explore:

• Supported housing and who it is for

• Housing Benefit and how entitlement can vary by age

• Private renting

• House swaps

• Sheltered housing

• Shared Lives

Knowing your rights and options is especially important if you have a mental health difficulty or are facing homelessness. When we feel desperate for somewhere to live, we may agree to or sign something without fully understanding it.

Come along, ask questions and learn what to consider before making a decision.
