Our Supported Lodging Programme

The journey through our supported housing programme typically follows these stages:

1. Initial Assessment

We begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand your current situation, needs, strengths, and goals. This forms the foundation of your personalised support plan.

2. Transition and Settlement

When you move into our supported lodging, we focus on helping you settle in, understand how everything works, and begin building relationships with support staff and fellow residents.

3. Skills Development

Working from your support plan, we provide opportunities to develop essential life skills including:

Budgeting and financial management
Cooking and nutrition
Home maintenance and cleaning
Shopping and meal planning
Accessing community services
Building healthy relationships
Education and employment skills

4. Independence Planning

As you grow in confidence and capability, we work with you to plan your next steps, whether that’s moving to more independent accommodation or accessing specific education or employment opportunities.

5. Ongoing Support

Our relationship doesn’t end when you move on. Our aftercare services ensure you continue to receive appropriate support during the transition to greater independence.

Success Stories

“When I first came to 3 Bridge Solution, I couldn’t imagine living on my own. After 18 months in their supported lodging programme, I’ve learned so much—from cooking proper meals to managing my money. Now I’m in my own flat and studying at college. The support I received made all the difference.”
— Former Resident, Chichester
