Andrew Stevens Supported Housing Services provides monitored accommodation and support services for young people aged 16 to 21 years old, with a variety of needs.

Particularly for those with higher support needs, a referral form must be completed and in some cases an assessment undertaken, before a service provision can be made available and suitable accommodation can be sourced.

The support and accommodation services are available on three levels:

Low: Monitored accommodation (including out of hours and weekends) and up to four hours of 1:1 key work support included.

Medium: Supervised accommodation with sleep-in staff and up to five hours of 1:1 key work support included.

High: 24 hour staffed accommodation (including waking night) with CCTV and up to six hours of 1:1 key work support included.

Unlimited additional support hours are available as required, including floating support for off site activities.

Working with a number of Local Authorities, accommodation and support services can be tailor made to fit the individual person's needs, based on the referral information, assessment and person centred planning process.
