Housing LIN celebrates Starts At Home Day 2024!

We're excited to announce our support for Starts A Home Day taking place today, Friday 30th August 2024 with the National Housing Federation. 

This important initiative shines a spotlight on the critical role that supported housing plays in helping vulnerable people live independently. From providing safe homes for older adults to offering tailored support for mental health, substance misuse or domestic abuse survivors, supported housing changes lives.

By backing this campaign, we're standing up for the thousands of individuals who rely on these essential services to lead fulfilling lives. Together, we can make sure that everyone has a place to call home, where they can thrive and feel secure.

To celebrate, we invited our Members to share their stories of success in supported housing. Read on to discover their incredible achievements!
