What is Supported Living?

Separate Housing and Support – The people

providing your support and help should not be the people that provide your housing.

Person Centred Support – Support will be planned to

help you to live independently. This could be what you would like to do and where you would like to live.

Open to Everyone – A person should be given the
pportunity to live in their own home. There should

be adaptations and support put in place to allow this.

Huddleston Way Supported Living Project

Huddleston Way is a short term

service where you can live for 2 -3 years and have training and support to develop your independence.

You will have a separate tenancy

agreement with Stonewater Housing

Association. Your support will be

provided by staff at Bedford Borough Council.

How we will help you

First we will complete an

assessment with you to look at what you can do.

This will help us develop your

support and training plan.

Huddleston Way is not able to

support you with medication as they are not registered to do so.
