Supported Housing

Scottish Veterans Residences (SVR) is a charity that provides supported accommodation for former members of the Armed Forces of any age. The charity works with Scottish Veterans housing association which owns the housing. They currently have accommodation in Edinburgh and Dundee and are starting work on a development in Glasgow. The accommodation is mainly single, en-suite rooms with full catering and a laundry service and housing support which is provided by 24 hour staff.

Pictured above is the residence at Whitefoord House in Edinburgh. The charity also has 25 flats and the Glasgow development will mean an additional 50 units in 2014.

The age of the residents ranges from 25 to 93, but anyone who has served in the armed forces or their spouses, is eligible for the help of the charity.

The charity helps ex-servicemen and women with many different needs, from those who need accommodation due to homelessness to those with post traumatic stress disorder to old age.
