A home, not a placement
People do better when the place they live feels like theirs. Residents have their own room, their own key, and privacy. We give notice before we come in, except in an emergency.
CRJ Living CIC runs a small number of houses in Crawley and West Sussex. Small enough that the person who answers the phone is the person who knows the property, the resident and the paperwork.
CRJ Living CIC is a Community Interest Company. That is a legal structure with an asset lock — the company exists to provide a service to the community rather than to return profit to shareholders.
We provide supported accommodation: rooms in ordinary residential houses, let on a licence to occupy, with the more intensive housing management that people with support needs require. We are the landlord and the housing manager.
We are not a care provider and we are not registered with the Care Quality Commission. Where a resident needs personal care or clinical support, that is provided by a separate organisation who is set up and funded for it.
Properties are inspected regularly and all statutory safety and compliance requirements are managed and certified. Records are kept and are available to residents, funders and inspectors on request.
Every resident has a support plan and a risk assessment made with them, reviewed regularly and after any significant change. How often we check in is set by that assessment and by the person, not by a standard rota.
Everything is recorded at the time it happens, which is why we can answer a question about any resident or property without having to go looking.
Director
Chrismond runs CRJ Living day to day — the properties, the placements, the paperwork and the phone. If you refer someone, this is who you will be dealing with.

A Community Interest Company registered in England.
People do better when the place they live feels like theirs. Residents have their own room, their own key, and privacy. We give notice before we come in, except in an emergency.
Our charges are built from what things actually cost, itemised, with the evidence behind each line available to any resident, funder or council that asks.
We provide housing and housing management. We say so plainly, and we do not drift into work that belongs to a care provider. Both jobs get done better that way.
