Supported Housing

The Housing and Support Strategy builds upon work produced jointly by Great Yarmouth Borough Council, Norfolk County Council and the East Norfolk Health Authority back in June 1997.

This section includes information about;

• Community alarm services

• Community outreach service

• Sheltered Housing

• Shelter schemes in the borough

The Housing and Support Strategy provides:

• An update on information about the needs of vulnerable people and the availability of services locally.

• An opportunity to really focus on housing requirements that are specific to groups with different needs.

• A statement of Great Yarmouth's needs which can influence other key plans such as the Norfolk Supporting People Strategy and the housing agendas for our region.

The Strategy highlights the needs of people from various groups in our community. For example:

• Older people

• People with a learning difficulty

• People with mental health problems

• Offenders and young people at risk

• Travellers

• People with a physical disability

• People who experience domestic violence

Housing Plan for People with Learning Difficulties 'This is my home' is about the housing and support needs of people with learning difficulties. It was written by Great Yarmouth Borough Council on behalf of the Norfolk Learning Difficulties Partnership Board, in consultation with many other groups and organisations.  The 'This is my home' housing project in Norfolk works to open up more housing options for people with Learning Difficulties.
