Combined Accommodation Scheme


Service Description: The Combined Accommodation Scheme (CAS) provides a consistent and stable experience for young people in the community who are or have been in foster care by offering continuity of care and accommodation. This scheme also provides accommodation and support to young people (aged 16-18 years) in the community who find themselves homeless.

Also known as:- CAS, Homelessness, Housing, Supportive Lodgings

Your FAQ

Question: I’m already a foster carer and I would like to offer continuous care to the young person in placement with me – will the CAS affect me?

Answer: Foster carers who continue to provide accommodation when the young person’s fostering regulations have been discharged at/or before the age of 18 can become Supportive Lodgings Providers and are eligible to receive the Supportive Lodgings payment instead of the Fostering Allowance.
