Supported accommodation in Cardiff
Cardiff is our largest operational footprint. We hold properties across the city — Cathays, Roath, Splott, Grangetown, Ely and Llanrumney — giving Cardiff Council commissioners genuine choice on placement matching, not just availability. Same-day emergency response is standard.
