Where am I going to live when I'm a parent?

If you already have your own property, we will help you get it ready for your baby. This includes making sure you have the equipment you need and helping you access support to learn the skills you need as a parent.

You will have access to safe and stable accommodation. This may include:

  • supported housing with parenting support
  • parent and baby units
  • emergency accommodation if you are at risk of homelessness or domestic abuse

Extra Support: Fleming Gardens

If you need more support, you may be able to access Fleming Gardens, a project designed specifically for young parents.

Fleming Gardens offers:

  • a purpose‑built supportive environment for young parents to learn parenting skills
  • ten fully furnished, two‑bedroom properties
  • support and advice from project staff for young parents aged 16–25
  • help to move into your own accommodation when you feel confident and ready

The project focuses on helping you build the skills you need to care for your child and manage your home independently.
