ASH SUPPORTED HOUSING
About & Values
About Us & What We Do
Ash is a Supported Housing organisation based in Greater Manchester, offering safe and comfortable accommodation which includes built-in care, support and supervision, provided by the landlord. We are a not-for-profit organisation, offering exempt accommodation funded by housing benefit for those who are eligible. We offer medium to long-term accommodation depending on the needs of each individual.
Ash Supported Housing is designed for individuals who have a history of homelessness, or are currently struggling with mental health conditions, drug and/or alcohol issues, and various health conditions which lead to a need for care, support and supervision.
Our aspiration is to help people develop and maintain their personal wellbeing, independence, and accommodation related matters equally in line with their own personal needs and wishes. We do this by utilising a person-centred approach in support of people's personal development, to maximise progression and quality of life. The ultimate aim is to give people a new start in life and develop a pathway in preparation for a more independent way of living.
Our staff receive training in line with the individual needs of tenants, as well as training in landlord-specific responsibilities to ensure tenants are supported adequately in all aspects of their needs, maintaining their accommodation, safety and personal wellbeing. We maintain robust governance and assurance processes to provide the best possible service.
The accommodation we offer is suited to the individual needs of people, helping them to achieve a sense of purpose and belonging. The assistance we offer ranges from supporting people with daily living skills, accessing relevant health and social care services to supporting social interaction and community integration.
We offer a Community Support Hub for our tenants, located within 1-3 miles of our properties, providing a central support service for tenants to meet, socialise, have refreshments, utilise free Wi-Fi to keep in touch with relatives and friends, and have face-to-face access to Ash Supported Housing outside of their homes.

Accommodation
Our properties consist of single occupancy flats, each containing their own facilities, including a lounge space, separate bedroom or studio design layout, plus own kitchen and en-suite toilet & shower facilities. Each flat contains appliances and a standard of furnishing and decoration. There are no shared facilities, allowing tenants to really make their space their own, further enhancing an independent way of living.
Properties are maintained to meet compliance in respect of Housing Standards, Health & Safety and Fire Safety. Communal hallways and external spaces are maintained to ensure a safe, clean environment all round.
The current locations of our properties are at the center of the community in Bolton, Greater Manchester, in popular residential areas with easy access links to public transport, shops and services, making it more possible for people to be part of their local community.
