Safe, Stable Supported Homes in the Community

About TrustStead Supported Living

TrustStead Supported Living was created to provide small, well-managed homes for people who need more than just a set of keys. We focus on safe, stable accommodation with clear boundaries, practical support and a genuine commitment to helping residents move forward.

Our founders bring experience from frontline supported housing, education, mentoring, youth work and central government. That combination means we understand both the lived reality of residents and the responsibilities of commissioners, probation services and local authorities.

We work with individuals who can live semi-independently but benefit from structure, guidance and housing-related support. Our aim is always the same: a steady, safe foundation from which people can build towards greater independence, employment and long-term stability.

Safe, well-maintained homes
