MY SPACE AND VETERANS
We provide quality accommodation and support to vulnerable adults who require our specialist services and these include Veterans who now occupy around 55 units of self-contained accommodation across our portfolio.
We operate a regional structure and our highly trained staff provide one to one care and support for the vulnerable adults we serve.
All our self-contained apartments in our veteran schemes will benefit from TouchbaseTM, an innovative digital support system, which at the touch of a button gives users access to family and friends, support providers, their Housing Officer, maintenance and emergency services. The system also gives us a digital overview of the tenant’s support needs which informs the way we shape our services.
We understand that veterans often prefer to live with like-minded people who have a military history. Living in a My Space supported living scheme, gives residents the opportunity to recover from any mental health or substance misuse issues. We provide specialised housing related support and safe place to transition from military to civilian life.
We provide specialised supported accommodation to any veteran aged 18+ who requires housing related support, from any service (Royal Marine, Army, RAF, and Royal Navy).
We have aligned our values with those of the Armed Forces Covenant which demonstrates our support to the armed forces community.
