Dimensions

For People Looking for a Place to Live

Our housing team finds, provides and maintains good homes for the people we support – people like WilliamFred, Meg and Emily, and we also act as landlord for many people supported by others.

We believe that everyone has the right to a good home and to live where they choose.

We know that finding a safe and suitable home in the right place can be really difficult, particularly for those leaving an assessment and treatment unit. Although most of our housing is sourced in line with an individual’s needs, with a stock of around 1000 properties we may just have the right vacancy available at the right time for you.

Housing Management

Our nationwide housing team works with our tenants to keep tenancies in good shape and to adapt people’s homes in line with their changing needs.

Our tenants have high levels of choice and control over their homes, including a matching service to make sure tenants are compatible with new housemates.

We provide easy-read tenancy agreements (including video easy-read) and face-to-face support to make sure our tenants fully understand their contracts.

The team can handle a wide range of different situations. We provide housing management and/or maintenance and we own property and also lease from others. Usually, we provide the support, but occasionally the tenant is supported by another provider. We’re flexible, we hold high standards, and we take pride in being good partners.
