Shared accommodation
When you are over the age of 18 and are able to take care of yourself with minimal support, shared accommodation may be right for you.
The Council lease some shared houses which you can live in with up to five other young people. You can claim housing benefit towards the cost of the rent, or if you are working there would be a rent charge. Shared accommodation provided by the Council is a short-term option until we can help you access your own tenancy.
