Housing and Tenancy Support

We have had many tenants successfully move on from supported houses, into their own flat, managing their own tenancies, going to university, college, back into work. We have moved people who were never expected to manage this, with complex needs, we have had tenants getting their first pets, getting married, having children, getting on with their lives, and learning to manage their mental health long term.

In the community, we have helped people get their properties up to a good standard, or moved if where they are living is not suitable for their needs. We have helped people in temporary accommodation and who are homeless find a home.

We have helped:

• save tenancies
• to reduce debt
• people get awards of PIP and higher rates of Universal credit

We can help with:

• food parcels
• getting essential items for the home
• applying for grants

We have 4, 4 bedroom houses and 2, 2 bedroom flats. We also manage a Melin developed project of 6 bed ensuite rooms with extensive communal areas.

Temporary supported accommodation for 26 single people with help to move into your own tenancy when you are ready to move on. You must have a mental health difficulty, need support and need accommodation to be eligible.

We provide help for people to manage housing and tenancy issues, for example, debt, neighbour issues, homelessness, managing a tenancy, and feeling part of a community.

If you are struggling to live well in your home, including private rental and home owners, we can help you to work to improve this.

This service is for over 18’s, anyone with a mental health difficulty who needs support to live well in their own home, or to build the skills necessary to live independently.

The referral path is through Newport City Council, but we can help you with this. You can contact the council directly on 01633 656656, or call Newport Mind, if you are not sure if tenancy support is for you, we can explain what it entails and what to expect from the support.
