Lister Grauwaart

Lister Grauwaart, located in the neighborhood of De Leidsche Rijn in Utrecht, is a supported living facility where residents take the final steps before transitioning to their own homes. The location provides individual recovery support in various life areas, such as household management, health, administration, and social contacts. At Lister Grauwaart, residents are “spotted” together, meaning that residents with and without forensic backgrounds live in the same apartment block, interspersed among local residents. Lister Grauwaart is managed by the Dutch organization Lister and was opened in 2011.

SMALL-SCALE

Lister Grauwaart has several individual apartments. These residences are spread across an apartment block. However, it is difficult to provide an exact number of available apartments, as this constantly changes depending on the availability of apartments for Lister. Each resident has their own apartment, equipped with their own kitchen and bathroom.

DIFFERENTIATION

Lister Grauwaart provides support to adults dealing with psychiatric issues and/or addiction problems, with the aim of promoting recovery and personal development. There are no contraindications; however, careful consideration will always be given to whether a placement is appropriate. To reside at Lister, a resident must have a psychiatric vulnerability.

Lister Grauwaart provides support to the residents, with the intensity of this support determined in consultation with each resident. It can vary from twice a week to multiple times a day, depending on individual care needs. The duration of the support is based on the resident’s needs and is generally short-term, with an average support period of two to three years. Each resident is also supported by a recovery coach, who provides structured guidance to promote optimal development. Together with the recovery coach, the resident sets goals and creates a plan to achieve them, focusing on personal growth and increased independence.

COMMUNITY-INTEGRATION

Since residents live independently in their own apartments, there is significant interaction with the community from the very start. Residents take advantage of various available amenities and facilities in the immediate area, including sports facilities at the school across the street, and participate in activities at the community center “De Hoeksteen.” Additionally, Lister takes various initiatives to involve local residents with the facilities. For example, they organize an annual barbecue at Grauwaart, participate in NL Doet, and host a weekly coffee morning at the Hoge Weide community center together with the residents.
