Accommodation Services

​There are three Adult Social Care Mental Health Accommodation services, known as Transitional housing units (THUs).

• Bewerley Croft THU, Beeston, South Leeds - 0113 336 7732
• Cottingley Court THU, Cottingley, South Leeds - 0113 336 7727
• 144 Spen Lane THU, Far Headingley, North Leeds - 0113 336 7878

These services work with people to prepare for living in their own accommodation in the community. They help tenants to manage their mental health, learn housing-related practical skills and help them to build a supportive network and to bid for their own independent housing. Each THU can provide a 6-8 month placement in a self contained flat, with each tenant taking up a short hold tenancy with Social Landlord Progress Care Housing Association. The services are staffed 24/7 by Adult Social Care support staff, who look after each individual under the recovery model.

Referrals can be made from anywhere in the city of Leeds by a mental health professional.

Respite Service
There are two self contained respite flats at each of the Transitional Housing Units. These give mental health service users a break from the stresses of living alone or from a difficult environment. It can also provide a break for close family and carers. Contact/referral enquiries can be made directly through each THU. 

Crisis Service
As part of the Independent Living Project three crisis flats have been developed; one at each of the new Transitional Housing Units. They can only be accessed via the single point of access service (formerly the Crisis Team) on 0300 300 1485, and can be used from 1 night to 2 weeks.

The crisis service:

• provides an alternative to hospital admission in situations where social support rather than medical care is required., and
• supports and, where possible, resolves a crisis situation for the individual and their carers.
