New supported living means Salfordians can move back home

Eight Salfordians with learning disabilities including those currently living out of area will be moving in and moving back to the city thanks to a new supported living scheme.

The new homes mean that people can now get the vital care and support they need in Salford rather than being placed outside of the city. While living in their new homes in Little Hulton, residents can live independently with specialist 24 hour care and support with things such as cooking, cleaning and personal care.

The care and support provider will employ approximately 20 people to provide expert support.

Councillor Tracy Kelly is the city’s Deputy City Mayor and lead member for housing and anti-poverty. She has worked to push through the scheme since initial discussions took place in 2018 and said: “It just warms my heart that Salfordians are moving back home. I decided to stand as a councillor to work on projects exactly like this and make a huge difference for local people.”The care and support provider will employ approximately 20 people to provide expert support.
