Staying put and supported lodging
If you live with a Foster Carer, you might be able to remain living with your Foster Carer after the age of 18 up to the age of 21, this includes support if you go to university or into the Armed Forces.
As you will be living with your foster carer as an adult, we will help you develop a Staying Put living together agreement which details how you will contribute to household expenses.
Supported Lodging
You can choose to rent a room in a house of a ‘host’ family. Similar to Staying Put, this means that you would be a lodger in the home.
The Council do an assessment with people who want to become Supported Lodgings providers, so that we know they have the right skills and values, and we do all of the checks needed to make sure this would be a safe home for you.
