Currently Connect Housing manages over 330 units of Supported Housing. Almost half is managed directly by Connect Housing.

Connect Housings’ ‘floating support’ schemes provide support to people with a variety of needs scattered across the city. Without this help, some tenants might have lost their homes. Others are provided with mobility and access aids and adaptations that improve their life quality and support their independence.

Hawthorn Mill provides sheltered accommodation in 34 flats, with a Housing Officer who lives on site. Tenants maintain their dignity and independence while enjoying involvement in the community within Hawthorn Mill and also being encouraged to engage in the wider community.

Nowell Court provides 22 flats for women with children who face a crisis of housing need. It provides a safe and secure base to consider options before moving on.

The remaining supported housing units are run by managing agents who have specialist expertise and knowledge in the support of a particular group of tenants.

Partner agencies include:

Archway: 16-25 year olds
Community Links: Single homeless people
Foundation Housing: Ex-offenders
LATCH: Young homeless people
Leeds Housing Concern: 16 – 25 year olds & women with alcohol problems
Leeds Irish Health & Homes: Vulnerable Irish people
Leeds MIND: People with mental health problems
Leeds Women’s Aid: Women fleeing domestic violence
Mary Seacole Halfway House: Young black homeless people
SIGN: Deaf people with mental health problems
St Anne’s: People with learning difficulties
Touchstone: Black people with mental health problems
Wilf Ward Family Trust: People with learning difficulties


All the support services, managed directly by Connect Housing or by specialist agencies, may be offered to people in their own homes in the community or in newly built and specially designed properties. The support may be offered by services staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, or for only 3-4 hours per month. The overall purpose is to provide appropriate help so that the individual tenant can maximise their independence and maintain the tenancy of their home. Some of the accommodation is permanent and some is a stepping-stone and training time before moving on to a more permanent home.

Within such a variety of services, we seek to promote a wide range of options and choices that can be flexible and tailored to the needs of the individual. With the help of the support offered, tenants are encouraged to become part of their local communities and to access the wider support networks and community services available.
