Comment: "Thanks all. Group homes is too vague on its own so although sheltered housing makes me think mainly of the elderly it works best as a standalone term in my context "

group housing
An alternative way of saying it. Otherwise Stockholm stad uses sheltered accommodation although that could also be interpreted as a rescue place for abused women and children. Group housing is therefore more neutral. Note! could of course also, in another context, simply refer to a group of houses...
