Who we are:
MYSHON aims to support independent living for vulnerable adults, some who have mental health challenges, learning difficulties, alcoholism, drug addiction and physical disabilities: all within a domestic environment embedded into local communities to promote their independence, understanding that everyone is individual and may need tailored support.
What we do:
We employ a regional management team of housing support managers and officers and maintenance technicians who assist with tenant needs and the management of assets. We also have a network of trusted sub-contractors. We partner with Care Providers who provide specialist support to tenants depending on their assessed needs, including helping them to maintain their tenancies, pay their bills, improve their wellbeing, and learn to manage day-to-day activities more independently.
