About Us
At Care Group International Ltd (CGI) we offer a range of housing options for adult Care leavers and other disadvantaged young people both temporary and permanent accommodation and offer additional low to medium support need to individuals. We work in partnership with local authorities, social services, private property owners/ landlords, estate agents, and other charity organisations.
Clients are mostly referred by the local authorities, Social Services and other charity organisations following an assessment. Our supported accommodation is fully furnished, aims to support our residents in maintaining their tenancies at the schemes, to enable independence in the future and to break the cycle of homelessness.
