Supported Housing Team
Who we are
The Supported Housing Team manages eleven properties – 50 individual units – in Coventry to provide short term supported accommodation to asylum seekers, refugees and migrants that face the threat of being homeless.
Our housing is available for individuals who have leave to remain.
The team also provides specialist support services for vulnerable people with complex support needs.
Our team assists clients with planning positively for their future and to aid the integration process into the UK. This involves case working with residents and providing access to all other services at Coventry Refugee and Migrant Centre. With links to other agencies in the city, the team also use this to help residents resolve issues, become independent and consider the next step in their lives.
Please note, to be eligible for supported housing, you will need to have leave to remain and a local connection to Coventry

About the houses
We provide temporary accommodation – usually six to 12 months – to those who are between being in receipt of leave to remain and independent living.
All of the houses and flats we offer are fully-furnished and to a high standard. Each bedroom has a bed, (with bedding) a wardrobe and chest of drawers. Kitchen equipment, cleaning products and a communal television are provided in our shared accommodation.
