Prospect Housing
Changing Lives
Providing You with the Support You Need
We are a not for profit organisation that specialises in providing and managing housing for people who have support needs. We work alongside support providers and local councils to ensure that the adults that we accommodate are supported appropriately in accommodation that meets their needs Supported Living is a service for people who need additional support beyond the level of ordinary housing, but do not require the levels of care provided in residential care services.
The service that Prospect Housing Trust provides is based around ensuring that tenants are adequately supported to maintain their accommodation, supporting them to sustain a level of independence that they would not be afforded in hospital or residential care.
