Save Our Supported Housing Supported housing in England is facing a crisis, but with the right government support we can save it.

ICYMI: Please support the Save Our Supported Housing Campaign #SOSHousing www.housing.org.uk/our-work/sup...

Did you know?

Supported housing saves the government up to £15,500 per person annually, but years of funding cuts mean providers are at breaking point and schemes are closing across the country. Without it, homelessness, NHS delays, and reoffending will rise.
