HOUSING FOR CARE LEAVERS

Practical comparisons
Check location, availability, household arrangement, facilities and the support described.
Professional workflow
Personal advisers and authorised professionals can manage clients and track referrals.
Finding the right accommodation
A care leaver may need ordinary shared housing, transitional accommodation or a supported placement. The right option depends on age, independence, support needs, local authority duties and the person's own preferences.
RoomsNow helps people and authorised professionals find advertised vacancies. The responsible local authority and provider retain their assessment, safeguarding, funding and placement responsibilities.
What to ask the provider
Confirm staffing or support hours, out-of-hours arrangements, house rules, compatibility with other residents, rent and service charges, benefits arrangements and the expected move-on plan. Where personal care or another regulated activity is delivered, check which organisation provides it and whether CQC registration applies.
Frequently asked questions
Can a personal adviser refer a care leaver?
Yes, where the selected provider accepts professional referrals. The referrer should follow their organisation's assessment and information-sharing procedures.
Is care-leaver accommodation always supported?
No. Options can include ordinary tenancies, shared housing, supported accommodation and transitional placements, depending on the person's circumstances.
Does RoomsNow decide whether a placement is appropriate?
No. Suitability and placement decisions remain with the provider, relevant professionals and the person seeking accommodation.
