Supported housing partnerships

A housing partner for care providers, local authorities and NHS teams. Zetetick Housing is a charity providing supported housing for adults with learning disabilities, autism and mental health needs across South London, Sussex, Surrey and Kent.

We provide and manage the home and support people to sustain their tenancy. Our care partners provide personal care and day-to-day support. We work together so housing problems are identified and dealt with, with the person at the centre of decisions.

Clear roles around the person

Zetetick: the home and tenancy

  • Providing and managing suitable supported housing.
  • Managing repairs, property safety and housing issues.
  • Intensive housing management and tenancy support tailored to tenants’ needs.
  • Working with tenants, care partners and families to address problems early.

Care partners: daily care and support

  • Delivering the person’s agreed care and support arrangements.
  • Supporting daily living, communication and personal care where required.
  • Sharing relevant changes that could affect the person’s home.
  • Working with the housing team to maintain a safe, settled tenancy.

Separating these responsibilities helps everyone understand who should act. A housing repair needs a housing response; a change in care needs requires the relevant care professionals. Where issues overlap, we need a shared plan and clear ownership.

How we work with you

Care providers

Talk to us about an individual housing need, an existing service or a potential property. We consider the person, the suitability of the home and the care arrangements together. In shared housing, compatibility with other tenants matters as much as an available room.

Local authorities and NHS teams

We welcome early discussions about housing needs, including planned moves and discharge planning. It helps to identify the preferred area, housing requirements, proposed care arrangements, timescale and funding position before considering a property.

Families and advocates

The person’s wishes, communication needs and important relationships should shape the discussion. If you are exploring a home for yourself or someone close to you, start with our guide to finding supported housing or contact our team.

From first conversation to a suitable home

  1. Discuss the need. Tell us who needs housing, where and why the present arrangement needs to change.
  2. Bring together the information. Share relevant assessments, accessibility and communication needs, risks, care arrangements and the funding position through the agreed referral process.
  3. Assess the options together. Consider the property, location, other tenants and what needs to be in place before a move.
  4. Agree responsibilities. Establish who owns each action and how housing and care teams will communicate.

A referral is not a guarantee of a home. Availability, suitability, funding and care arrangements must all be considered. Read how the supported housing referral process works.

Housing Benefit and the support we provide

For exempt accommodation, the landlord or someone acting on its behalf must provide more than minimal care, support or supervision that the tenant needs. Routine landlord duties alone are insufficient. Housing Benefit decisions are made individually by the local authority; eligible housing costs and the funding of care and support must be distinguished.

See the DWP guidance on supported housing claims and our explanation of who pays for rent and care. Calling a service intensive housing management does not, by itself, establish its eligibility for Housing Benefit.
