Supported accommodation
Safe, supported homes across North Northamptonshire for people rebuilding confidence, stability and independence.
About our housing
A safe place to rebuild
Accommodation Concern provides supported accommodation across North Northamptonshire for people who need a safe place to live while they rebuild confidence, stability and independence.
Our homes are usually shared houses with between three and six residents. Each person has their own room and receives one-to-one support from a dedicated key worker. Together, they agree an individual support plan based on what matters most to that person and what will help them move towards independent living.
We are a short to medium-term supported accommodation provider. Most residents stay with us for around 9 to 12 months, but we do not take a one-size-fits-all approach. Some people need a little more time, and some are ready to move on sooner.

Support model
Support built around the person
When someone moves into our accommodation, we work with them to understand where things are going well and where they may need extra support.
We use our own Progress Wheel to help residents and key workers look at key areas of independent living, including self-care, budgeting, support networks, physical and mental wellbeing, confidence, addiction issues where relevant, and practical tenancy skills. This helps us build a support plan that is personal, clear and focused on progress.
Support might include help with budgeting, benefits, managing appointments, building routines, keeping a room or shared home clean, understanding tenancy responsibilities, improving wellbeing, or preparing for a move into independent accommodation.
Life skills
Leaving with more than somewhere to move on to
We want residents to leave Accommodation Concern feeling more prepared for the day-to-day realities of running a home and managing life independently.
Residents can access Centrepoint's Lifewise AQA modules, which offer hundreds of practical learning options. These can cover everyday life skills such as cooking, budgeting and managing a tenancy, as well as wider issues such as confidence, wellbeing, drugs and alcohol, relationships and personal safety.
The aim is not to tick boxes. It is to help people build the skills, confidence and habits that make independent living more likely to succeed.
Moving on
Planned, realistic resettlement support
Moving into independent accommodation is a big step. For many people, it can also be the point where things feel most uncertain.
Thanks to support from the Thomas Brington Foundation, we are able to provide 6 to 12 weeks of resettlement support for residents when they leave AC supported accommodation. This helps people settle into their new home, manage the practical challenges of moving, and avoid small problems becoming tenancy-threatening issues.
This support can include help with setting up utilities, budgeting in a new tenancy, accessing furniture or essentials, making sure benefits and rent are in place, and helping the person feel connected to the right support after they have moved on.
Referrals
How people are referred
We do not currently accept direct applications for our supported accommodation.
Most residents are referred through our partners at North Northamptonshire Council. Accommodation Concern also sits on the Supported Accommodation Multi Agency Panel, which helps make sure referrals are considered properly and that supported accommodation is used for people who are likely to benefit from this type of housing and support.
Sector networks
Connected to wider homelessness support
Supported accommodation works best when it is connected to advice, move-on routes, national learning and strong local referral pathways. We keep our housing work linked to wider homelessness and youth homelessness networks so residents get practical support, not just a roof.
Accommodation Concern is an associate member of NACCOM, and we also draw learning from national partners such as Centrepoint around youth homelessness and supported accommodation.
