Independent Living
We act as a specialised body accessing support through needs, risk assessments and safeguarding referrals for our more vulnerable tenants.
We also coordinate support packages with providers, tenants and professionals. Our aim is to have a consistent approach to assessing and supporting vulnerable tenants.
We have compiled a support directory which can be accessed through the link on the right hand side of this page.
This is a list of providers throughout Leeds that cater for a variety of support needs.
We are involved in various forums where we share best practice and information on projects that are occurring in Leeds, ensuring that we tailor our service to reflect the wider city objectives.
We manage the supported housing for predominantly over 60’s or individuals with a medical need where the properties and the service would be of benefit to them. This service promotes independence through support planning and risk assessing providing daily visits from 1 up to 5 days each week. Tenants of our supported housing also benefit from peace of mind that 24 hours a day care ring will respond should you require emergency assistance.
Assessing Vulnerable people through Needs and Risk Assessments
Our assessment process aims to identify people’s needs at the earliest opportunity so that they can access effective to enable them to live independently within the community. ENEHL believes that by assessing needs and risks to vulnerable people at the earliest opportunity it will allow us to put interventions in place to assist safe and independent living.
This supports the wider aim of ENEHL to provide community cohesion by facilitating settled and sustainable communities.
If you require support we have teams of trained staff who will complete a needs and risk assessment with you at a pre tenancy interview to ensure that we have the appropriate information. There is a tenants guide on the process which will inform you of what to expect at the interview and also where we may be able to support you. Please download the leaflet on the right for further information.
Your help is then maintained through support from your local Housing Support Officer.
