HOW OUR SUPPORTED HOUSING SERVICES HELP MAXIMISE PEOPLE’S QUALITY OF LIFE
WE’RE proud of the people who work and live in our Supported Homes as well as the partners who help us deliver supported housing.
This National Supported Housing Week, (October 19th-23rd), we wanted to shine a spotlight on the vital partnerships that provide such important services throughout our regions.
Alongside the supported housing schemes we manage at Cornwall House and Rowlands Lodge in Chester, we work together with 23 support providers and managed agents who play a key role in supporting our residents.
“Our supported housing services are enriched by the fantastic support we have from our partners, and the commitment of our own supported housing team,” Emma Davies, Muir Supported Housing Manager said.
“Thank you to everyone for their hard work and dedication to delivering high-quality services and support.”
Our supported housing services provide accommodation and support for people with enduring mental health conditions, physical challenges, learning difficulties, homeless families, autism and more.

Jane Warren, Supported Housing Officer at Muir said: “Supported services we work in partnership to provide enable residents to live as independently as possible in their communities – maximising quality of life.
“It’s fantastic to see how people can come together to live in housing that meets their need, forming a community and a real bond with each other, and the colleagues and partners we work with.”
