Supported living · Adults aged 18+

Supported living property partnerships

We look for suitable self-contained homes for adults aged 18+ who need housing alongside housing-related support. Property owners provide the homes; support is delivered separately. Every opportunity is assessed individually.

Clear responsibilities

Housing and support are kept separate

Housing landlord & housing management

The lease, the rent, the property condition, repairs and compliance. Who holds this role is agreed for each property — it may be Dreytons Housing Ltd or another housing partner.

Housing-related support

Keywork and housing-related support for adults 18+ may be delivered by Dreytons TLC Ltd, a separate company. This is non-regulated support — not personal care — and TLC is not a CQC-registered care provider or a Registered Provider of social housing.

Dreytons TLC Ltd does not automatically lease the properties submitted. Each arrangement is structured case by case.

Separately, Dreytons TLC Limited was awarded a Commissioning Alliance DPV contract for supported living in July 2025, providing a route to commissioning opportunities with participating local authorities.

Homely living room in a self-contained home

Property suitability

What tends to work

Self-contained flats and small blocks are prioritised. Houses and HMOs are considered only selectively, where planning use, licensing, confirmed demand and funding are all in place. Submitting a property is an expression of interest only — it creates no commitment by any Dreytons company.

  • Self-contained studios and one-bed flats
  • Small blocks with self-contained units
  • Selected houses and HMOs, where planning use and licensing allow
  • Good access to transport, shops and local services
  • Homes in good condition that meet safety standards

Before anything progresses

Every opportunity is conditional

We only take a property forward where it makes sense on every count. All of the following must be in place:

Lawful planning use

The property's planning use class must allow the proposed use, or appropriate consent must be in place.

Licensing & compliance

Relevant HMO or selective licensing, safety certificates and fire safety measures must be confirmed.

Confirmed demand

A commissioner or support provider must have identified a genuine need for the home.

Funding

Rent and service funding must be confirmed for each case. Housing benefit does not automatically cover supported living rents.

Suitability & due diligence

We review the property, its location, the lease and the people it would serve.

Commercial approval

Terms must be approved internally and agreed in writing before any commitment is made.
