Driven By Local
Demand.
We are contributing to addressing the growing demand for housing among vulnerable individuals in our local communities.
Supported
Housing.
The scarcity of specialist supported housing services in the UK is a pressing issue that significantly impacts vulnerable individuals and communities across the country. The shortage of these essential services hinders the ability to provide tailored support and accommodations for individuals with specific needs, ultimately leaving many without access to the critical assistance and resources required to lead fulfilling lives and achieve independence.
It is predicted that between 2015 and 2030 demand for supported housing would increase for the older population by 36% and working age adults with a learning disability and/or autism by 55%. However, the full, accurate scale of the issue is yet to be identified.
Complex
Care.
The UK faces a stark shortage of fit-for-purpose accommodation for adults with complex needs, presenting a significant challenge in meeting the diverse and specialised requirements of this vulnerable population. The inadequate availability of appropriate housing options not only compromises the well-being and quality of life for individuals with complex needs but also places added strain on healthcare and social support systems, underscoring the urgent need for comprehensive solutions to address this critical shortfall.
The latest figures from August 2023 show that at least 2,045 people with a learning disability and/or Autism we’re in inpatient units with 230 people having their discharge delayed due to lack of social care or lack of suitable housing in the community.
Children's
Services.
The lack of adequate children's services in the UK is a pressing concern that demands immediate attention. Insufficient funding, resources, and support systems have left countless children and their families without access to the vital services and opportunities they need to thrive, hindering the nation's ability to ensure a brighter future for its youngest citizens.
A peer-reviewed study, published in The Lancet in 2022, has further underscored the concerning trend. It found that over a five-year period from 2015 to 2020, a staggering 10,000 children entered the care system due to circumstances directly linked to poverty.
