Supported Housing
Watford Mencap has a small number of properties that people with learning disabilities can rent.
There are 4 one-bedroom flats and 2 houses that people share.
A named Support Worker from Watford Mencap visits the tenants every week to help them live independently.
This is called housing-related support, and is funded through the Supporting People Programme.
The type of help people need is different but can include –
- Reading post, paying bills and managing a budget
- Keeping healthy and well
- Keeping safe and getting on with neighbours
- Information about leisure, employment, and the community
- Life skills development
- Assistance to manage household tasks
