About The Rosses

The Rosses is a non-24-hour supported housing service based in Londonderry. We support adults living with enduring mental health challenges ranging from depression and anxiety to personality disorders to maintain their tenancies and live as independently as possible. We also provide general housing support to tenants from local housing waiting lists.

Our team doesn't deliver personal care or medication support; instead, we empower people with the life skills and practical help they need to thrive, whether that's managing appointments, developing routines, connecting with others or navigating the world of housing and benefits. Every flat here is self-contained, allowing our residents to feel truly at home.

We work in partnership with Choice Housing and multiple local professionals (e.g. Community Mental Health Teams, Allied Health Professionals) to provide wrap-around, tailored support.
