Supported accommodation in one searchable place
Supported accommodation combines housing with support intended to help a person live safely and build independence. The exact service, staffing, eligibility and funding arrangements differ between providers.
RoomsNow lets people looking for accommodation and professionals compare published vacancies without relying on disconnected vacancy lists. Each advert can explain the support offered, the people it is intended for, the rent, facilities and referral process.
How to enquire or make a referral
Individuals can create an account, search vacancies and send an accommodation request. Professional referrers can keep client information private, choose a suitable advert and submit the information requested by the provider.
The accommodation provider makes all assessment, eligibility and placement decisions. RoomsNow does not assess needs, inspect properties or provide regulatory approval.
Frequently asked questions
Who can apply for supported accommodation?
Eligibility depends on the provider, service and funding route. Check the advert and ask the provider about its assessment criteria.
Can a support worker make a referral?
Participating providers can accept professional and local authority referrals through RoomsNow. The accepted routes are shown on each advert.
Is every provider verified?
Verification is shown where RoomsNow has checked the provider's stated identity and documents. It is not an inspection, accreditation or confirmation of regulatory status.
What support categories does supported accommodation cover?
Providers on RoomsNow advertise accommodation across categories including mental health support, homelessness prevention, learning disabilities, autism, care leavers, young people, ex-offenders and domestic abuse recovery. Use the search filters to narrow results to a specific category.
Is supported accommodation the same as supported living?
The terms overlap but are not always identical. "Supported accommodation" often describes services for people who need help building independence, while "supported living" more commonly describes longer-term housing with care for people with disabilities. Check the specific service description on each advert rather than relying on the label alone.
Does supported accommodation cost anything?
This depends on the funding route, provider and local authority arrangements. Some placements are funded through housing benefit or local authority commissioning, while others may involve a service charge. Ask the provider directly about costs and funding before proceeding.
