You may be eligible for supported accommodation if you have additional support needs. Eligibility is generally determined based on your housing situation and whether you're considered "vulnerable." Here's a quick overview of the eligibility criteria:
| Criteria | Details |
|---|---|
| Right to reside | You must be a British or Irish citizen, an EU citizen working in the UK, or a non-EU citizen with permanent residence. |
| Homelessness | You need to be homeless or have no accommodation available to you. |
| Priority need | You must be considered vulnerable, which can include having a disability or a serious health condition affecting your ability to cope when homeless. |
| Support requirement | For mental health accommodations, you must be assessed as needing significant support on a weekly basis by the Community Mental Health Team. |
If you think you meet these criteria, consider reaching out to the Torridge District Council to discuss your situation further. They can provide guidance on how to apply for supported accommodation and any necessary assessments.
