Swansea local authority discusses supported housing on its website on this page. Supported housing projects are not treated as long-term places to live, but will be somewhere you can stay whilst you learn the skills to deal with the responsibilities of having your own place. Most supported housing projects in Swansea will have a commitment from the council and the local housing associations to help find permanent housing when you are ready to move out of supported housing. Goleudy would be a great alternative if you are housing association jobs in Swansea.
