Bobby Goldsmith House has been operating for 11 years as a medium to long-term residential environment for clients who, because of HIV-related needs, require medium to high level support to maintain independent living. It combines safe and appropriate housing with support services to enable people living with HIV to have a degree of independence while remaining in a supported residential environment.
The house has ten fully self-contained one-bedroom units along with communal spaces including a kitchen, a garden and balconies. Tenancy is longer-term and eligibility depends on tenants requiring supervision and support to reside in the community.
While tenancies are generally longer term, an aim of the project is to develop a level of independence where tenants can eventually move into living with minimum support in the community.
