Target Housing Partnership Helps Develop Supported Living Scheme

September 24, 2026

We’re pleased to share our involvement in a new supported living scheme creating much-needed housing for people who require additional support.

Providing 10 self-contained apartments, including a fully adapted property, the scheme will provide the accommodation and personalised support to individuals with complex mental health needs.

The scheme transformed the former New Cleveland Street Club into 10 self-contained apartments, including one fully adapted property. By bringing this previously unused site back into use, the redevelopment provides much-needed housing while preserving the building’s original character.

The development aims to help people move from hospital and crisis settings back into their communities, giving residents the opportunity to build greater independence in a safe and supportive environment.

A new approach to supported living

The scheme has been developed through a partnership between Hull City Council Adult Social Care, Lifeways, Target Housing and developer Continental Gold.

Together, the partners have transformed the former Cleveland Club site, providing each resident with their own tenancy, alongside tailored support to help them build confidence and work towards their personal goals.

The scheme was created in response to a gap in local mental health provision, with a particular need identified for services that could support people to move out of inpatient settings and back into the community.

Chris Oakley, Service Development Commissioner for Learning Disabilities and Mental Health, explained that the service has been carefully designed around the needs identified by social workers and local partners.

Supporting recovery and independence

Lifeways will provide 24/7 on-site support, helping residents develop everyday living skills, reconnect with their communities and gain greater control over their own lives.

Each resident will have an individual support plan based around their goals and aspirations, with a strong focus on recovery and independence.

Richard Cunningham, Development Director for Lifeways, said the scheme will provide an important stepping stone for people who are ready to leave hospital but still require the right level of support to live successfully in the community.

Target Housing’s role

Target Housing will manage the tenancies and provide housing support for residents. Drawing on our experience of supporting people with complex needs and multiple disadvantages, we will work alongside residents and partners to help create stable homes and positive long-term outcomes.

Amanda Fields, Head of Care at Target Housing, said:

“We’re very proud that we can often support people who others may not, because we look beyond perceived risks and focus on the individual and their circumstances. We don’t like to leave people behind.”

This approach will be central to the new service, ensuring residents are supported as individuals and given the opportunity to progress at their own pace.

Looking ahead

The first residents are expected to move into the scheme later this year. The new service will create an important pathway for people leaving hospital and crisis settings, helping them access the right support, in the right place, at the right time.

Most importantly, it will give residents the opportunity to live more independently, remain connected to their local community and work towards their own goals in a place they can call home.
