Choice Housing Trust - Referral Form

Choice Housing Trust is a charity that provides rooms in shared housing with weekly visiting support. There is no on-site staffing, so it is not suitable for people who may pose a high risk to other residents. The weekly person-centred support is tailored to suit the needs of the individual residents, but averages around 90 minutes of face to face support per week. Residents MUST have clearly evidenced support needs
