Discover Zetetick: homes, support and partnership

Zetetick Housing is a registered charity providing supported housing for adults with learning disabilities, autism and mental health needs across South London, Sussex, Surrey and Kent.

What our name means

Zetetick is pronounced “Zuh-teh-tick” and means proceeding by enquiry. It describes a practical approach: ask questions, understand the person and keep looking for what will help their home work well.

Housing shaped around the person

Our mission is Safe homes. Empowered people. A suitable home may be a flat, a bungalow or a shared house. Location, accessibility, space, sensory needs and the people someone will live with all need consideration.

We provide housing management and tenancy support. Our Housing Officers and maintenance colleagues work with tenants and the people supporting them to look after their homes and address housing problems. Care partners provide personal care under separate arrangements.

A referral starts a conversation about the person and what their home needs to offer. It does not guarantee a vacancy or an immediate move. Suitability, funding and support arrangements need to be agreed before a tenancy begins.

Working with other people

Good supported housing depends on people being clear about their responsibilities. We work with families, social workers, commissioners, landlords and specialist care providers. Each may know something important about what will help a tenancy last.

Our BEDROCK values guide how we work with tenants and one another. They include respect and dignity, honesty, kindness and a commitment to care and support.
