Places for People Living Plus has broad experience of working with care and support providers across the country to set up bespoke supported living homes and work tirelessly to provide homes for people with a variety of care and support needs.
We can support in setting up new provisions, as well as replacing unsuitable homes with bespoke purchase and adaptation from the open market. We can also buy existing supported housing properties from private landlords, or even directly from care and support providers.
We agree on a service level agreement with our care and support providers. We can also offer a management agreement where the care and support provider can also carry out the housing management function, for example in short stay services.
Our agreements ensure that Customers receive the right levels of support and housing management to help them live safely and comfortably. We ensure all our new homes provision is supported by the relevant commissioning authority.
Places for People Living Plus work with local authorities and Clinical Commissioning Groups across England, to offer a range of supported housing solutions in partnership with an extensive list of care and support providers.
Our acquisitions team is dedicated to working with Customers, their families, care and support providers and commissioners to acquire properties that are adapted to meet the specific needs of individuals. The team uses its comprehensive knowledge of sourcing and adapting suitable homes from the open market to meet demand across the country, as well as working with third party developers.
A network of contractors managed by internal surveyors ensure that our Customers are central to any decisions about the works we undertake, including our compliance and fire safety works.
Since 2016, we’ve invested £75m in buying over 300 homes for 800 Customers. We have provided quality homes for nearly 3000 Customers across England.
Our properties include individual and shared houses, bungalows, flats, and some larger bespoke schemes. We strive to buy high quality properties, adapted to our Customers’ specific needs, where they will thrive as part of their local Community.
Most of our Customers receive Housing Benefit under the specified accommodation rules. This is usually paid by local authorities directly to us as the landlord. We then provide the housing management functions, offering the security our Customers often don’t find in the private sector.
