Pete Wright’s life was previously one involving crime and drugs until supported housing transformed his life for the better. Pete of Conwy explained: “Before I came to live in supported housing my life was rather chaotic. I'd spent numerous times in hospital under section and lived a life of crime and drugs. I came to live in North Wales and moved in with my mum but before long my mental health deteriorated again and I was back in hospital. I realised at this point that I needed support and that moving back with mum wouldn't be good for either of us. My key worker within the mental health team found me a place in a shared house in a supported housing scheme. Whilst there, my mental health stabilised, I have managed to stay away from drugs and crime and totally changed my life. The support has taught me how to manage a tenancy and I have just last week moved into my own flat. I'll still get floating support for a while to make sure I manage and I'm really optimistic about the future. I can't thank North Wales Housing enough for giving me the chance.”
