Broadacres' supported housing provides safe environments with support services to enable people to develop the skills and confidence to successfully manage their own tenancies.

Many people with a learning disability often live in an environment that does not allow for the development of the confidence and skills necessary to enable them to live within their own accommodation. This denies them the opportunity and choice of living independently.

Broadacres has developed two schemes, each accommodating six people in self contained flats or bed-sits, in Northallerton, both offering long term support on site between 8am and 10pm and on call support between 10pm and 8am

Support workers carry out regular assessments with service users to determine their confidence and skills in dealing with the practical day-to-day issues of maintaining a tenancy.

We also encourage and assist service users in day-to-day tasks whilst empowering them to take the necessary managed risks to develop confidence and encompass a comprehensive resettlement package that links directly into ongoing tenancy support ensuring long-term sustainability of tenancies.

The service will offer experiences designed to promote individuality and offer opportunities for service users to lead stimulating challenging and fulfilling lives whilst maintaining the right to live ordinary lives within the community.
