Background information
Supported housing is organised for people who need support in living independently or transitioning to independent living. Supported housing refers to supporting a person’s housing through social guidance and, if necessary, other social services.
It can also be offered to mental health rehabilitees and people with substance abuse problems who need support in everyday activities and life management.
Supported housing can be arranged at the resident’s own home or in municipal rental housing, and the service can also be offered in other types of living arrangements. Supported housing is provided by public and private service providers.
