English translation:[centres for] independent living
Explanation:
The purpose of a 'trainingshuis' is to prepare young people with disabilities to live independently.

The individual homes are often called e.g. '[London] centre for independent living' or 'group homes'.

There is also the concept of 'supported living', however this does not emphasise the development of skills for independent living.
