Finding the right place to live is an important step towards independence.

In Croydon, there are different housing options depending on your needs and preferences.

These include:

• supported living (where you have help with day-to-day tasks)
  
• shared housing (living with others)
  
• independent living (living on your own with minimal support)
  

When choosing a home, think about what matters most to you.

Do you need help with cooking or managing money? Do you want to live close to family or friends? Thinking about these questions will help you decide what kind of support and housing would work best for you.

It might be helpful to list what’s most important to you in order - like location, support and independence. Talking to someone you trust can also help you feel more confident in your decision.
