COUNCIL is supporting a unique development which will provide specialist, supported housing for adults with mental health needs.
Together with Homes England the Council has partially grant funded a scheme to bring 15 one-bed self-contained apartments to Blaby village.
The project is being delivered by developers Pelham working in partnership with Norton Housing and Support and Modus Partnerships.
This is the first affordable supported housing scheme to be brought forward in the District for some time and will meet a demand recognised by the Council.
The scheme has been four years in the making and the Council’s Strategic Housing Team have worked closely with partners to progress the project, including providing evidence of the need for the scheme and liaising with planners in order to make sure any site constraints were overcome.
The funding from the Council and Homes England was instrumental in ensuring the viability of the development.
