A Recovery-Focused Approach to Housing
Mental health supported housing provides stable, safe accommodation for adults living with mental health conditions. It bridges the gap between clinical psychiatric care and fully independent living, giving residents a real home alongside the specialist support they need to manage their wellbeing and build a meaningful life.
Unlike inpatient settings, mental health supported housing is based on a recovery model. Residents hold their own tenancy, make decisions about their daily lives, and work at their own pace towards personal goals. Support is delivered by trained staff who understand mental health — not as a label, but as a lived experience that requires patience, flexibility, and genuine care.
At Stone and Sky, our mental health supported housing across Birmingham and the West Midlands is designed around each individual. We work closely with NHS Community Mental Health Teams, local authorities, and specialist charities to ensure every resident receives joined-up, person-centred support.
How It Differs from Psychiatric Care
- ✓Residents hold their own tenancy — it is their home
- ✓Recovery model focused on strengths, not symptoms
- ✓Community-based, not clinical or institutional
- ✓Support tailored to individual needs and pace
- ✓Autonomy and choice at the centre of daily life
- ✓Clear pathway towards independence and move-on
Specialist Housing for Mental Health Needs
We provide mental health supported housing for adults living with a wide range of conditions, offering a stable environment where recovery can begin
Depression & Anxiety
Stable housing with structured daily support for adults managing depression, generalised anxiety, or other mood disorders that make independent living difficult.
PTSD & Complex Trauma
Safe, trauma-informed accommodation for individuals recovering from PTSD, childhood trauma, or adverse experiences, with connections to specialist therapeutic services.
Personality Disorders
Consistent, boundaried support for adults living with borderline personality disorder or other personality conditions, with a focus on emotional regulation and stability.
Psychosis Recovery
Step-down accommodation for individuals recovering from psychotic episodes, discharged from hospital, or transitioning from more intensive settings into community living.
Dual Diagnosis
Specialist support for those managing co-occurring mental health and substance misuse conditions, with integrated referral pathways to addiction and mental health services.
Complex Needs
Housing for adults with multiple overlapping needs including mental health, learning difficulties, physical health conditions, and histories of homelessness or offending.
Our Mental Health Support Model
A structured, recovery-focused framework that guides every resident from assessment through to independence
Comprehensive Assessment
Every placement begins with a thorough assessment of mental health needs, risk factors, medication, and personal goals — carried out in partnership with the referring agency and the individual.
Personalised Support Plan
We develop a detailed support plan covering mental health management, daily living, social engagement, and recovery milestones. Plans are co-produced with the resident so they have ownership of their journey.
Dedicated Keyworker Support
Each resident is assigned a trained keyworker who provides consistent, relationship-based support. Keyworkers meet residents regularly, track progress, and adapt the plan as needs evolve.
Specialist Referrals & Partnerships
We connect residents with NHS mental health services, talking therapies, substance misuse programmes, and community resources. Our relationships with CMHTs and local charities ensure joined-up care.
Recovery Goals & Move-On
Support is structured around measurable recovery goals. As residents build confidence and stability, we work towards step-down support and, where appropriate, move-on to independent or lower-support accommodation.
Joined-Up Care with Trusted Partners
Effective mental health supported housing depends on strong partnerships. We work alongside NHS mental health services, Community Mental Health Teams (CMHTs), local authorities, and voluntary sector organisations to deliver coordinated, person-centred support.
Our referral partnerships ensure smooth transitions into our accommodation and continuity of care. We attend multi-agency meetings, share progress updates with relevant professionals, and maintain open communication with referring bodies throughout each placement.
