Both the Supported Housing and Outreach Service provide a comprehensive support package for up to 65 individuals living either in one of Networks properties (Supported Housing) or in their own homes (Outreach) in the city of Leicester and Coalville. Support input is flexible and received on a regular basis (usually 2 support visits per week). This ensures Network can offer increased support during periods of particular difficulty or crisis and appropriately reduce regularity of contact as clients become more confident in managing their lives independently.

• I am aged 18 or over (No upper age limit)
• I am able to cope without 24 hour support
• I experience serious and persistent mental health distress and/or have prolonged engagement with psychiatric services
• My quality of life is significantly affected by mental distress
• I may have experienced difficulties in engaging with and relating to support services in the past (not essential)
• Support would enable me to take more control over my life
• I would like to make positive changes in my life and I am willing to work with Network to achieve this

Please note: The Resource Centre can only accept referrals from the City of Leicester (due to funding). The community teams can accept referrals from both the City and the County. There is additional criteria for the Supported Housing project - please phone for details. The community teams both have a waiting list - again, please phone for details.
